‘Arms For Nuke Tech’: How Russia-Iran ‘Quid Pro Quo Deal’ Is Reshaping Putin’s Israel Ties | Mideast

The deepening conflict between Iran and Israel has increasingly drawn Russia into the mix, complicating regional dynamics. Israel’s recent strikes near Russia’s Khmeimim Air Base in Syria, aimed at Iranian and Hezbollah-linked targets, suggest a shift in Israel-Russia relations, which had previously been characterized by coordination to avoid direct confrontations. The strikes also coincided with Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on Israel, raising speculation of tacit Russian support for Iran.

This evolving situation reflects a broader trend of military and strategic cooperation between Russia and Iran. Russia’s involvement, which may include intelligence-sharing and protection of Iranian nuclear sites, could embolden Tehran in its aggressive stance towards Israel. Moreover, concerns are growing that Russia might be assisting Iran in advancing its nuclear program, potentially enabling the development of a nuclear bomb, a prospect that deeply alarms Israel.

The cooperation extends beyond the Middle East, as Iranian drones and missiles are being used by Russia in Ukraine. As the ties between Tehran and Moscow strengthen, Israel faces a more complex and dangerous security landscape, heightening fears of a regional arms race.
