Shifting Sands: Navigating Russia and Iran's Growing Collaboration and Its Impact on the Middle East

  • Summary

  • NSI hosted an event diving into the geopolitical, economic, and strategic implications of the growing partnership between Russia and Iran, which has led to increased cooperation, including military coordination, such as military transfers and defense technology exchanges, economic partnership, to even Russia providing cover for Iranian violations of international law in multilateral institutions.
