Russia is sending military aid, including drones, to support Iran’s war against the United States and Israel, according to Western intelligence reports. 

Iran has backed Russia’s war against Ukraine by sending hundreds of its one-way attack drones to Moscow and helping to create manufacturing plants in Russia for it to produce additional drones. Russian President Vladimir Putin is now returning the favor by sending a shipment of drones, medicine, and food to Iran, Western officials briefed on the intelligence said, according to the Financial Times.
