Russia, US To Talk About Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
TEHRAN/MOSCOW/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – Moscow says future talks between Russia and the United States will include discussions on Iran’s nuclear program amid concerns the Islamic Republic will soon have atomic weapons.
The pledge came while details emerged that Russian military experts visited Iran two times last year as Tehran looked to cooperation with Moscow because its proxies and defense capabilities suffered devastating blows in a war with Israel.
Iran has been delivering drones to Russia for use in Moscow’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, while Moscow apparently offered military expertise.
“Russian missile specialists don’t just appear out of the blue,” said Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD).
Additionally, Iran purchased Russian fighter jets and helicopters in 2023. “Alarm bells should be going off in Washington and Jerusalem,” Taleblu added.
Several sources confirmed that senior missile and air defense experts reportedly traveled to Tehran in April and September 2024.
The visits reportedly came while Iran was embroiled in a regional confrontation with Israel following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack in Israel.
NO DIVORCE
FDD’s Taleblu said the visit was proof “that any effort to divorce Russia from Iran will be “self-defeating” for the United States.
Yet, with a Russia-Ukraine peace deal on the horizon and the U.S. seeking to re-establish trade and diplomatic ties with Russia, Iran competes for the Kremlin’s attention.
The Kremlin revealed that the subject of Iran’s nuclear program had been “touched upon” in an initial round of U.S.-Russia talks last month.
Russia said that it has agreed to assist President Donald J. Trump’s administration in talks with Iran on issues like Tehran’s nuclear program and its support for anti-U.S. proxies such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and others.
Experts agree that Russia and Iran are collaborating to keep one another strong and pursue their mutual objective of eroding U.S. global influence.
Moscow and Tehran further deepened their partnership in January after signing a 20-year “comprehensive strategic partnership treaty.
However, the pact doesn’t include a bilateral security agreement; if it’s up to Washington, it will stay that way.
