The US secretary of state made the remark after it emerged Iran has provided Moscow with short-range weapons to use in its war against Ukraine.
President Joe Biden is 'not ruling out' allowing Ukraine to fire missiles deep into Russian territory, the US secretary of state has told Sky News. Antony Blinken made the comment after he told a news conference in London that Iran has provided Moscow with short-range missiles and Vladimir Putin will 'likely use them within weeks in Ukraine'.
But he added that Washington has also had to consider other factors, such as whether Ukraine's forces can use the 'sophisticated systems' Western allies are providing and whether they can maintain them. He continued: 'All of those things have to go into these decisions. But what I can tell you is we've adapted and adjusted every step along the way and we'll continue - so not ruling out at this stage. 'We don't. We never rule out.
