According to Fox News, Russia has reached a secret deal with Iran that could guarantee Tehran’s supply of uranium to build nuclear weapons. The IAEA was also informed that the Iranians had accumulated enough enriched uranium close to weapons grade.
Fox News has also reported, based on various types of intelligence, that Iran’s current uranium enrichment activities could challenge a new nuclear deal between Tehran and the West. There is also evidence that Vladimir Putin has agreed to return Iranian enriched uranium if the nuclear deal fails. However, this information has not been confirmed by the US State Department.
At the same time, Washington fears that Israel, which is watching the rise of Iran, could inflict a powerful preemptive strike on Tehran.
Along with this, Russia is also strengthening its military ties with Iran. According to the Wall Street Journal, the parties have reached a billion-dollar deal under which Iranians on Russian soil will produce unmanned aerial vehicles faster than the Shahed. The source suggests that the production of drones will be located in Yelabuga (Tatarstan), where the Iranian delegation visited the day before.
