U.S. allies: Russia's assistance to Iran far exceeds American understanding

According to TechFlow news, on March 29, the United States’ European allies publicly and privately informed U.S. diplomats that Russia is directly and substantially assisting Iran’s military operations, far beyond what the U.S. is willing to publicly acknowledge. European countries also stated that the Ukraine war is becoming intertwined with the Iran war because of cooperation between Russia and Iran. A British official indicated that defense cooperation between Russia and Iran has significantly strengthened in recent years, with Iran’s technological advancements now evident in attacks in the Middle East. The British assessment believes that Iran has not only transferred the “Shahed” drones to Moscow for use on the Ukrainian battlefield but has also transferred production technology to Russia, which has helped Iran improve its drone combat capabilities. This British official could not confirm whether Russia has recently transferred any hardware to Iran. French Foreign Minister Barrou publicly described the relationship between Russia and Iran as “mutual cooperation.” (Jinshi)
