Iran Sending Russia Missiles In Exchange For Nuclear Secrets? West Watches Growing Ties With Concern – News18

Recent warnings from Britain and the US highlight concerns about increasing military cooperation between Iran and Russia. As Iran enriches uranium, fears grow that Russia is sharing nuclear secrets in exchange for ballistic missiles to aid its efforts in Ukraine. During a summit, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Joe Biden acknowledged this tightening relationship, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasizing the mutual benefits.The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that Iran has enough uranium enriched to 60% to potentially build three nuclear weapons. This development raises alarm, especially amid ongoing tensions involving Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah, as a nuclear-capable Iran could destabilize the region. Interestingly, while historically rivals, both nations may find common ground in their opposition to Western influence. A nuclear Iran might increase Russia’s diplomatic leverage, akin to North Korea’s relationship with China, compelling Middle Eastern nations to strengthen ties with Moscow.Moreover, Iran’s military support to Russia could lead to a scenario where Ukraine becomes a focal point for forces opposing Tehran, necessitating intelligence collaboration between Iran and Russia to monitor these developments.
