During a visit to the UK, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that Iran has supplied Russia with short-range ballistic missiles, which are expected to be deployed in Ukraine within weeks. 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. The relationship between Russia and Iran is said to involve sharing nuclear and space technology.
