WASHINGTON, United States - The United States on Friday expressed alarm over a "full-scale defense partnership" between Moscow and Tehran, describing it as "harmful" to Ukraine, Iran's neighbors and the world.
"Russia is seeking to collaborate with Iran in areas like weapons development, training," White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters. Moscow's UN envoy Vassily Nebenzia pushed back later in the day, telling a Security Council meeting that "the military industrial complex in Russia can work perfectly fine and doesn't need anyone's assistance."Earlier, Kirby announced that the United States would sanction three Russian-based entities active in "the acquisition and use of Iranian drones."
Last month, Tehran admitted it had sent drones to Russia, but insisted they were supplied before the invasion of Ukraine.Kirby said the United States is also concerned that Russia "intends to provide Iran with advanced military components," including helicopters and air defense systems. Britain's Foreign Secretary James Cleverly took aim Friday at the "sordid deals" between Moscow and Tehran, saying in a statement that Iran had sent drones to Russia in exchange for "military and technical support" from Moscow.
He said the aid "will soon be on its way to provide Ukraine with new capabilities to boost its air defenses and counter the threats that Ukraine is facing from drones."
