[U.S. Allies: Russia's Assistance to Iran Far Exceeds U.S. Perception] Deep Tide TechFlow reports, on March 29, U.S. European allies have publicly and privately informed U.S. diplomats that Russia is directly and substantially aiding Iran's war efforts, far beyond what the U.S. is willing to publicly acknowledge. European nations also stated that the Ukraine war is intertwined with the Iran conflict due to cooperation between Russia and Iran. A British official noted that Russia-Iran defense cooperation has significantly strengthened in recent years, and Iran's technological advancements are now evident in Middle Eastern attacks. The U.K. assessment suggests that Iran not only transferred "Shahed" drones to Moscow for use on the Ukrainian battlefield but also shared production technology, which has helped Iran improve its drone combat capabilities. The British official could not confirm whether Russia has recently transferred any hardware to Iran. French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna publicly described the relationship between Russia and Iran as "mutual cooperation." (Jin10)
