Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu claimed that Iran's mass aerial attack on Israel was part of the Islamic Republic's "right to legitimate defense."

Intelligence sources say that Tehran's growing partnership with Moscow has led to secret weapons deals.

The researchers found that state-owned internet companies from wealthier autocracies often provide access networks in poorer autocracies.

The Kremlin said that the suspected Israeli attack is an act of aggression and a "violation of all the foundations of international law."

It is important that we are determined to achieve our goals, and in my opinion, our colleagues are determined to create this space for the nuclear industry abroad,” the IAEO spokesperson said.

Russia, Iran, and China have conducted at least four naval drills in the past. However, this year’s are larger, and they come amidst rising tensions in the Red Sea and off the coast of Yemen.

The Syrian dictator also expressed support for Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and compared the war between Israel and Hamas to that war, painting both Hamas and Russia as acting in self-defense.

"When lives are lost, and partners are simply playing internal political games or disputes, limiting our defense, it's impossible to understand," said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The growing ties between Tehran and Moscow come as Iran has increased its military activity against Israel through attacks by its proxy groups: Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.

Heusgen told German press agency DPA the Iranian and Russian governments had not been invited because they had not shown a serious interest in negotiations.
