Russia begins supplying ammunition to Iran for war against the US

Russia has begun delivering TNT, ammunition and drone components to Iran, Deutsche Welle reported, citing NBC News.

Tehran is using the weapons to replenish its depleted stockpiles after US and Israeli strikes. An anonymous European official confirmed the news that the deliveries had begun.

NBC wrote that the US and Israel cannot intercept all cargo between Russian and Iranian ports. Because cargo transportation is carried out through the Caspian Sea. The Caspian Sea is a closed body of water, which is controlled by Russia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan.

According to European authorities, the deliveries continued even after the Israeli attacks on the Bandar-e-Anzali port complex on the northern coast of Iran. This port may have been used to transit weapons between Moscow and Tehran.

This transit shows that the strategic alliance between the Kremlin and the Tehran authorities is deepening.

It is noted that in the early years of Russia's war in Ukraine, Iran also helped Moscow. In particular, the Iranians provided Russia with Shahed-type strike drones and the technology to produce them.

Russia modernized Iranian technology and began producing such drones in-house to strike Ukraine. Russia also provided Iran with satellite imagery and intelligence to strike US positions in the Middle East.
