Now the rudiments of a full -fledged partnership in the field of security between Moscow and Tehran are being formed. Iranians supply Russian drones who kill Ukrainian citizens right now. And Russia and Russia He studies the methods of providing technical assistance to Iran. This is a real threat to those who are near the Islamic Republic, for many of our friends and allies in the region, ”Burns said.
At the same time, The Washington Post, citing a senior American official, writes that Iran will help Russia build a plant for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles. It is reported that the plant will be built in Tatarstan. The Iranian side will take part in its design and will carry out technical supervision of construction.
