The Dangerous Nexus: Russia and Iran’s Mullahs

  • The Iranian regime, which has long argued that it is not seeking to develop nuclear weapons… has lately changed its tone and is boasting that it currently has the ability to build a nuclear bomb.
  • Biden’s new nuclear deal, if reached, will also allow Russia to cash in on a $10 billion contract to further expand Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

  • Sadly, this still seems to be the legacy that the Biden administration wants to leave: Iran’s predatory regime, the top state sponsor of terrorism, armed with nuclear bombs, and an empowered Russia that does not hesitate to use aggression and military force to invade other countries.
  • No wonder Biden is being called a “Russian stooge.”

The Iranian regime is now providing weapons and troops to Russia with full impunity. What are the ruling mullahs of Iran getting in return?

First of all, Iran’s theocratic establishment is rushing to cross the nuclear threshold in order to become a nuclear-armed state. Iran wants Russia to help it bolster and speed up its nuclear program. On October 24, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accurately warned:

“In eight months of full-scale war, Russia has used almost 4,500 missiles against us. And their stock of missiles is dwindling. Therefore, Russia went looking for affordable weapons in other countries to continue its terror. It found them in Iran.”

Zelensky added:

  1. The “NEO-MONGOL” Alliance is starting to fray.

    The Russia-China-Iran alliance, currently at war with NATO, is beginning to split apart, as its members seek for advantage against one another:

    “China could ‘opens doors’ to Central Asia amid growing discontent with Russia’s ‘Putin Doctrine’
    “Russia’s war in Ukraine has increased reservations among governments in Central Asia, with Moscow ‘not enjoying the former hegemonic power’ it once did
    This is providing China with an opening to further grow its footprint in the region, according to an Atlantic Council panel discussion this week”

  2. Hi, Ted

    Yet again, we get to bring up one of our key points of contention: the siding of some Jews with the “bruised reed” with Russia in its struggle with NATO. The OP has pretty well articulated my main point:

    Zelensky added:
    “I have a question for you – how does Russia pay Iran for this, in your opinion? Is Iran just interested in money? Probably not money at all, but Russian assistance to the Iranian nuclear program. Probably, this is exactly the meaning of their alliance.”

    I have argued that Israel ought to keep plenty of space from ALL the parties in this conflict; but among the contenders, Russia is the most immediate threat to Israel. You, on the other hand, have contended that the Americans and their NATO and AUKUS minions are the greatest threat. I have countered that the American-led (“Roman”) West along with Russia, PR China, Iran, Turkey, etc. are all hydra-like heads of one and the same beast — who is at war not just with Israel, but with all humanity — ESPECIALLY the true Christians and Jews.
