As of today, Russia is not acting as an ally of Iran. Perhaps it would like to, but we have already seen it with Syria, and now we see it with Iran – I believe they simply do not have the capacity for this. All their forces are either buried in Ukrainian soil or engaged in the war against Ukraine.
I am confident that the Russians are supplying the Iranian regime with weapons. We understand that they may be providing electronics for “shaheds.” I think all of this is found in the fragments of the “shaheds” striking the Middle East today. If our partners’ intelligence services share their information, it will be confirmed. Because Iranian “shaheds” contain Russian-made components. This is something we know for certain.
What else might Russia supply to Iran? Air defense systems could be provided – they have plenty of those.
