US officials are particularly worried about Iran supplying drones to Russia for its military operations in Ukraine.
This support has raised eyebrows, especially as it appears to be part of a broader alliance that includes the potential exchange of ballistic missiles and advanced military technology.
In return, Russia is reportedly helping Iran enhance its missile and nuclear capabilities.
Ned Price, a spokesperson for the US State Department, emphasized that this “burgeoning security partnership” should be a concern for everyone around the world.
The Biden administration is adjusting its approach to Iran, shifting focus toward containing the threats that arise from this deepening relationship with Russia.
European nations are also joining the conversation, with many calling for new sanctions against Iran due to its support for Russia and its involvement in arming militant groups in the Middle East.
The US and its allies are actively seeking ways to address the challenges posed by this cooperation, aiming to safeguard both regional and international peace.
