Russia is said to be deepening defence ties with Iran by supplying satellite intelligence and improved drone capabilities. The reported support could enhance Iran’s ability to monitor targets and carry out more precise strikes using its drone fleet. However, officials in Moscow have denied the allegations, calling the claims inaccurate as tensions continue to rise across the region.
