State Department: Russia-Iran cooperation a threat not just to Ukraine
Iran gives Russia drones, and in return Moscow offers Tehran an unprecedented level of military and technical support.
This was stated by State Department Deputy Speaker Vedant Patel during a briefing.
According to the official, Iran gives Russia drones, and in return Moscow offers Tehran an unprecedented level of military and technical support. This turns their relations into a full-fledged defence partnership.
This partnership poses a threat not only to Ukraine but also to Iran's neighbours in the region.
It is worth noting that Iran does not stop trying to deny cooperation with Russia and denies supplying its drones to Russia. At the same time, Western intelligence agencies claim that Russia has already made a deal with Iran for the supply of ballistic missiles.
