According to US officials, Iran may soon receive the cutting-edge Russian-made Su-35 Flanker-E aircraft in exchange for providing arms to support Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the officials, Iranian pilots received Sukhoi Su-35 training in Russia in the spring, indicating Iran may start acquiring the aircraft within the following year. The information was disclosed<\/a> on December 9 by senior officials of President Joe Biden\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

This training is part of what the US has described as an \u201cunprecedented\u201d level of military and other technology support pouring from Moscow to Tehran. The US said that Moscow has been giving Iran a range of weapons systems, including unidentified helicopters, air defense systems, and other support, such as Su-35 training.<\/p>\n

The Russian government purportedly seeks to obtain hundreds of Iranian short-range ballistic missiles as part of this trade and more kamikaze drones. Furthermore, Moscow wants to work with Iran to build weapons, and one possible cooperative project is to create a drone production line in Russia.<\/p>\n

The latest claims were supported by US intelligence assessments, according to White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, who also stated that Russia was providing Iran with unprecedented military and tech assistance that is reshaping their relationship into a full-fledged defense partnership.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership poses a threat not just to Ukraine but to Iran\u2019s neighbors in the region. We have shared this information with partners in the Middle East and worldwide,\u201d one senior administration official said.<\/p>\n

The US accusations are a deliberate effort<\/a> on their part to isolate Russia on a global level. In this case, they are probably directed at Arab countries that have attempted to restrain Iran\u2019s regional aggression and have not taken a strong stand against Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Kirby stated that the US would use the resources at its disposal to uncover and halt these activities because the weaponry transfers were against UN Security Council resolutions. Recently, the Biden administration announced sanctions against Iranian companies and organizations involved in shipping Iranian drones to Russia for use in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The White House has accused Iran of supporting Russia\u2019s war effort, but it hasn\u2019t given up hope of resurrecting the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which the Trump administration scrapped in 2018.<\/p>\n

The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, often known as the JCPOA, would relieve Tehran of billions in sanctions in exchange for the nation\u2019s consent to scale back its nuclear program to the levels specified by the 2015 deal.<\/p>\n
