Growing Concerns Over Iran-Russia Military Cooperation and Potential Nuclear Deal
Recent reports indicate that Iran has been supplying ballistic missiles to Russia, including Fath-360 missiles, but has withheld the launchers necessary for their operation. This situation has alarmed officials in the U.S. and U.K., who are increasingly worried about the implications of a possible secret nuclear deal between the two nations. The G7 foreign ministers have condemned Iran's missile exports, emphasizing the threat posed to European security. Iranian officials, however, have vehemently denied these allegations, asserting that no weapons have been transferred during the current leadership. There are fears that Russia's sharing of nuclear secrets with Iran could further destabilize the region and complicate the ongoing war in Ukraine, with some analysts warning this could lead to a significant geopolitical crisis.
