Russia finds itself in a complex position regarding its alliances. After Israel's recent attacks on Iranian military targets, Russia condemned the strikes, calling them unprovoked. While historically allied with Iran, Russia has also maintained ties with Israel due to geopolitical interests. Both nations have collaborated previously in conflicts like Syria, but independent analysts caution against overstating their partnership. With ongoing military developments, including drone trade, Russia's strategic calculations may shift as it navigates the delicate regional dynamics and US-Israel relations.
"If you have an enemy and your enemy has partners and allies, his partners and allies are automatically your enemies. There are no illusions about this, and there can't be any."
"Of course, Russia should be friends with Iran because, in politics and in life, everything is very simple...we are interested in the weakening of Israel and helping its adversaries."
