AI Summary:
Iran aided the Kremlin with badly needed drones in the first year of its Ukraine invasion, helped Moscow build out a critical factory to make drones at home and inked a new strategic partnership treaty this year. But five months after that treaty was signed, the government in Iran is facing a grave threat to its rule from attacks by Israel. Russia, beyond phone calls and condemnatory statements, is nowhere to be found. Analysts say Mr. Putin is unlikely to become involved militarily in the conflict or to arm Tehran too aggressively. In part, this caution arises from fear of alienating the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. But it’s also because his forces are already tied down in Ukraine. Russia has offered to take Iran’s highly enriched uranium. Iran has long had a robust relationship with Iran, becoming the country’s largest foreign investor last year. Russia has supplied arms to Iran for years but has stopped short of providing the full suite that Tehran wants.
