Blinken emphasized that this development poses a threat to Europe, highlighting Iran's growing influence beyond the Middle East. He revealed that Russian personnel have been trained in Iran to operate the Fath-360 missile system. While Russia has its own missile arsenal, the Iranian supply allows Moscow to reserve its long-range missiles for distant targets.
