Nicole Grajewski, who studies Iran’s cooperation with #Russia at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center, said that there had been a high level of “sophistication” in the Iranian retaliatory strikes, both in what Tehran has targeted & in its ability in some cases to overwhelm #US & allied defenses.
“They’re getting through air defenses,” she said, noting that the quality of Iran’s strikes appeared to have improved even from its 12-day war with #Israel last summer.The #Pentagon is quickly burning through its supply of precision arms &# air defense interceptors, people familiar with the matter have told WaPo, underscoring concerns raised by Gen #DanCaine, chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff, as #Trump deliberated whether to approve the operation. The admin has sought to downplay Caine’s assessment.

Russia’s assistance reshuffles how various countries have engaged in a #ProxyWar since Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of #Ukraine. Throughout that conflict, #US adversaries including #Iran, #China & #NorthKorea have provided #Russia with either direct military aid or material support for Moscow’s vast defense industry. The US has given Ukraine tens of billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment & shared #intelligence on Russian positions to improve Kyiv’s targeting.

On Thursday, #Ukraine President Volodymyr #Zelensky posted on X that the #Trump admin had requested assistance in helping protect against Iranian drones & that Kyiv would provide “specialists” in response.
#Iran has been one of #Russia’s chief backers during the Ukraine #war, sharing the technology to produce cheap one-way attack #drones that have repeatedly been used to overwhelm Kyiv’s air defenses & exhaust Western stocks of interceptors donated to protect Ukrainian cities. -
@Nonilex Has anyone seen any news about what side China has been assisting?
So far staying out of it.

Since the war began Saturday, #Russia has passed #Iran the locations of #US #military assets, including warships & aircraft, said the 3 officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.
“It does seem like it’s a pretty comprehensive effort,” one of the people said.
Moscow has called for an end to the #war, which it labeled an “unprovoked act of armed aggression.”

@Nonilex That’s what I thought. Seems like it’s keeping its powder dry as it watches the world react to wars in Ukraine & Iran/Gaza before doing anything in Taiwan, for example.
