In the US press: Military cooperation between Iran and Russia is a good reason for strengthening missile defense in Europe

24

Military cooperation between Iran and Russia is a good reason for strengthening missile defense in Europe. Washington considers it a serious cause for concern.

Azriel Bermant, a senior fellow at the Prague Institute of International Relations, expressed this opinion in his article for the American magazine Foreign Policy.



The US press notes that Tehran not only morally supports the Russian military special operation in Ukraine, but also helps to carry it out to a certain extent. In particular, Bermant claims that the Russian Armed Forces receive from Iran reconnaissance and strike Drones. Thus, according to the author, Tehran is becoming a threat not only to Israel and a number of other Middle Eastern countries, but also to Europeans.

At the same time, the author notes that the Iranian threat lies not only in the fact that weapons from this country will end up in the hands of the Russian military. Bermant believes that, having become a full-fledged military ally of Russia, Tehran is able to use its missile weapon against European countries, carrying out launches from its territory, because most of Europe is within the range of its medium-range ballistic missiles. This weapon was successfully tested back in 2018.

Based on this, the author comes to the conclusion that NATO should urgently strengthen its missile defense in Europe.

      This means, as I always, earlier, was convinced that Russia's proposals to "separate" areas of responsibility, when deploying the "European" segment of the AMERICAN GLOBAL NMD, was "rejected" at the Madrid gangway of the NATO relic (in 2010, if memory serves correctly. ..), WITHOUT ANY CLEAR REASON...

      After all, ALREADY then, about the mythical "Iranian threat" to Europe in the camp of the Atlanticists, they screamed quite hysterically. Although no "military cooperation" was visible. And the contract for the supply of S-300 to Tehran was unilaterally stopped by Russia. Although he did not fall under any "sanctions", and even sanctions of the UN Security Council against Iran ...

      "Only" 12 years have passed, the States ONE-SIDE, HAMSKY and WITHOUT ANY REASON, broke the INTERNATIONAL agreement with Tehran to control its nuclear program.

      And now, "now, already", who would have thought, "reasons" for the appearance in Europe of hostages of the American NMD "appeared" ...

      I do have a question...

      And to what extent are the States THEMSELVES really ready for a real missile defense of their OWN territory?

    Some countries don't need to mention the word "moral". From the word at all. You have driven Iran into a corner .... the next stage is a war with it. What the country wants, it does. Leverage to Iran you yourself broke everything. And now they have done the same with the Russian Federation. With which there is not much military leverage.

      That is why it is necessary to bring the SVO to the end - by any means. Otherwise, sooner or later they will build so much air defense that we will not be able to break through it if something happens.

      Sooner or later they will figure out what to do even with Russian hypersound.

      And in the US press it is not noted that the United States and the UK not only morally and materially, but also very realistically help 404.
      No need to be surprised later that we will have Iranian drones, and Iran will have missiles with a largeиm range. We tried very hard to get exactly this result.
      Enjoy it!

        I just don't understand why the Democrats should shame Iran? What should Iran be ashamed of by supplying UAVs to the Russian Federation? And what can threaten him if sanctions have been in place for a long time?!

      I believe that our step - in this case, is only a formal reason for the States to "timely" spoil their European tobacco ...

      It is worth recalling that about a week ago EXACTLY the "Europeans", in the conditions of a growing and protracted economic crisis, began to "see the light".

      And they started talking (at the level of the EU leadership) about the possibility of a compromise position when considering Tehran's conditions for its return to the so-called. "nuclear agreement".

      At the same time, at the same time, they began to work out "options" for protecting European (in particular, German ...) businessmen from possible "sanctions" from the United States, for their cooperation with Tehran in the economic sphere. So to speak, options for a "correct circumvention" of these "sanctions" of Washington, which the Europeans dare to "directly" transgress...

      By the way, last but not least, the "Europeans" to the beginning of such "maneuvers" towards Tehran, were inspired by the hope that Tehran could be "inclined" to more active cooperation in the supply of Iranian energy to the European markets...

      Which, indirectly, "will allow" to begin a gradual "separation" of Tehran from further rapprochement with Moscow

        And the result will be a deepening of Iran's integration into the SCO at least, and most likely into the BRICS, and possibly the CSTO and any other non-American organizations in the Asian region.
        But what the Yankees will definitely achieve is the complete collapse of the European economy. It seems that all efforts are aimed precisely at this. Of the 4 poles: USA-EU-Russia-China, one will be destroyed for sure (they hoped that there would be two, then it would be quite cool, but Russia survived). And only historians will remember that 1 euro cost 1,5 bucks.

    So they have any "sneeze" - it was always a good reason to strengthen something. And if there is no "sneeze", then it can be invented.

    Strengthening NATO missile defense in Europe, a good reason for installing the S-500 in Cuba and Venezuela. And in general, it's time to attend to the creation of bases along the perimeter of the United States. hi

    But somehow the author did not write what reasons there are or exist for reducing pro in Europe! At least once they would name one small reason for reducing!

    From the moment the Anglo-Saxons found out that there were other continents, it immediately turned out that these territories were illegally captured by the Indians. And as the Anglo-Saxons believe, they "restored justice and returned the territory of North America to the free world by destroying the invaders, and the surviving Indians were driven into reservations. Since then, so and it happened that Iraq is a threat to them, then Yugoslavia, then Iran.

    Iran is a strong country, and Russia should help it improve its technology. Iran should send infantry to Ukraine. Your drones will give excellent results.
