CIA Head: 'Full-Fledged Partnership Between Russia And Iran' - 'Dangerous Impact On The Middle East'

CIA head: Russia looking to support Iran, posing threat to US allies in Middle East



The head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) said in an interview broadcast Friday that Russia was looking to help Iran, which would pose a threat to US allies in the region.

“What’s beginning to emerge is at least the beginnings of a full-fledged defense partnership between Russia and Iran, with the Iranians supplying drones to the Russians, which are killing Ukrainian civilians as we speak today,” William Burns told PBS.

“The Russians are beginning to look at ways in which, technologically or technically, they can support the Iranians, which poses real threats to Iran’s own neighborhood, to many of our friends and partners in Iran’s neighborhood as well,” he said, without naming any of the countries.

Burns said the relationship between Tehran and Moscow was “already having an impact on the battlefield in Ukraine, again, costing the lives of a lot of innocent Ukrainians.”

“I think it can have an even more dangerous impact on the Middle East as well if it continues. So, it’s something that we take very, very seriously,” Burns said.

Iran has supplied suicide drones to Russia, which has in turn used the UAVs to hit civilian and infrastructure targets during its invasion of Ukraine. The EU has said it had evidence that Iran sold drones to Russia since the start of the invasion in February.

Burns’ comments came after the NBC network reported earlier this month that Russia is providing an “unprecedented level” of military and technical support to Iran, in exchange for the weapons Tehran has supplied for Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

In addition to drones, Tehran is also reportedly considering supplying Russia with ballistic missiles.

    Interesting informative Article. So why didn't CIA do something knowing Russia was in Syria doing their destructive dance way back in Middle East?

    CIA must have known this was a given, so where oh where were solutions, or CIA off-setting expansion of Russia throughout the ME earlier on back then? Now Russia moved on to Iran, no surprise here, IMO. So, don't talk about it, do something about it; We just hear all the negative naysayer's Blah, blah, blah, about this, or that, and offer no solutions, strategy, or as to why massive prevention prior was not in the works, right?

    Even if covert missions occurred, are we to assume they were failures because obviously occurrence's for build-ups to reach concerns, are being reported? Or are we to believe they all are just a hot mess and driven by Global Madness pushing for NWO on paper/meetings, while trying to implement insane ideas now showing to be utter failures; God will sort this out, because mankind knows there are no leaders right now, there are but boys playing with dangerous toys, in my opinion! Mush brains are leading the packs, and here we are hearing more about the stupid outcomes from propaganda mixed with pushed fear, IMO!

    For the majority of souls, priority comes down to celebrating Jesus right now, it's Christmas joyful time, filled with prayers and hope! (:
