Blinken Signals U.S. Is Weighing Loosening Ukraine Missile Restrictions.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has suggested that the West is considering allowing Ukraine to use Western-made weaponry to strike deeper into Russian territory. This comes as Russia adds Iranian ballistic missiles to its arsenal and launches a counteroffensive in the Kursk region. Ukraine has been requesting permission to use long-range missiles to disrupt Russian offensives, but the U.S. has been hesitant due to concerns about escalation. Blinken warned that the delivery of Iranian missiles to Russia would intensify their attacks, and he emphasized that Russia had already escalated the conflict by targeting civilians and infrastructure.
