Western intelligence claims Russia has begun delivering drones to Iran, marking what could be Moscow’s first direct weapons shipment to Tehran since the conflict erupted on February 28. The phased transfer is expected to be completed by the end of the month. The report also claims Russia is supplying food, medicine, and critical intelligence support—including satellite imagery—to bolster Iran’s position in the ongoing war. However, the Kremlin has pushed back, dismissing the claims as misinformation, while confirming that dialogue with Iranian leadership is ongoing. If confirmed, the move signals a deepening Russia-Iran military alignment, raising concerns of a broader global escalation as the conflict intensifies.
