Russia is providing Iran with military support in exchange for weapons to be used in the war in Ukraine.
Russia may also be looking to collaborate with Iran on weapons development and potentially establish a joint production line for drones in Russia.
“This partnership poses a threat not just to Ukraine, but to Iran’s neighbors in the region,” one senior administration official said. “We have shared this information with partners in the Middle East and around the world.”
Since the invasion of Ukraine, Iran has been providing significant military support to Russia, including the sale of several hundred drones since August. These drones have been used by Russia to attack Ukraine’s critical infrastructure and energy facilities, causing civilian casualties.
The United States has reportedly received intelligence that Iran is considering selling hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia, and expects Iran’s support for the Russian military to continue to increase in the coming months.
