War in the Middle East escalates as the Biden-Haris regime fails to help countries involved reach common ground and unite for peace. Instead, crooked Joe handed Ukraine more military arms and support, which they have used to attack Russia.
US State Department raised concerns recently as reports cited that Iran is preparing to send guided-ballistic missiles to Russia ‘soon.’
Multiple European intelligence sources say that Iran is training Russian troops on how to use the Fath-360, a close-range ballistic missile system.

According to Vedant Patel, US State Department spokesperson, the US would quickly respond to any such transfer.
“We’ve been warning of the deepening security partnership between Russia and Iran since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, this partnership threatens European security and illustrates how Iran’s destabilizing influence reaches beyond the Middle East and around the world,” Patel remarked.
“As our partners have made clear … we are prepared to deliver together a swift and severe response if Iran were to move forward with the transfer of ballistic missiles, which would in our view represent a dramatic escalation in Iran’s support for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine,” he continued.
In 2022, Iran also supported Russian troops with attack drones.
They also launched a mass drone attack on Israel last April, sending at least 170 drones and 120 ballistic missiles toward the country. Almost all were shot down and intercepted by Israeli, US, and Jordan forces.
Sources say that Russian Defense Ministry representatives had made a deal with Tehran on December 13 to acquire Fath-360 and another ballistic missile system built by Ababil, an Iranian Aerospace Industries Organization.
Multiple intelligence sources confirmed that Russian personnel were in Iran to learn how to operate the Fath-360 defense system.
Another report said that ‘the only next possible’ step after training would be the delivery of the missiles to Russia.
A military expert shared that Russia could use Iranian missiles for closer–range targets while allowing its ballistic missiles for units outside the front line.
Russia has not made any statement regarding the acquisition. At the same time, Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations highlighted that the Islamic Republic signed a long-term strategic alliance with Russia, including military cooperation.
‘Nevertheless, from an ethical standpoint, Iran refrains from transferring any weapons, including missiles, that could potentially be used in the conflict with Ukraine until it is over,’ the statement said.
A senior Iranian official, who refused to be named, confirmed that Iran had sold missiles and drones to Russia but not Fath-360 missiles.
