Politico reported that Moscow proposed a quid professional quo to Washington: the Kremlin would cease sharing intelligence with Iran if Washington ceased supplying Ukraine with intelligence about Russia, however the US rejected the concept. The Kremlin has dismissed the report as pretend.
Russia was disadvantaged of an ally when the US toppled Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, although Moscow has benefited from the excessive oil costs triggered by the US and Israeli assaults on Iran, a strategic accomplice.
The revealed strategic partnership doesn’t include a mutual defence clause, and Russia has repeatedly mentioned that it doesn’t need Iran to develop an atomic bomb, a step that Moscow fears would set off a nuclear arms race throughout the Center East.
