I think they had quite a valid question. First of all, it's not obvious how this affects Ukraine, if in any way at all. Second, not everyone can know about Iran's involvement in the war (people are born, grown up, and informed every day).

The relevance of the post to the community should be made clear by the contents of the post. As it currently stands, there are no indicators that the event would have any influence on Iran's support for the Russian invasion.
