Contrary to popular belief, the diplomatic schism between Iran and Russia is expanding

According to Bourse & Bazaar Group, Iran’s air force commander, Brigadier General Hamid Vahedi, has put a halt to speculation regarding the delivery of Russian Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets, raising concerns about the Russia-Iran partnership’s dysfunction. The delay may be due to Russia and Israel’s strong connection, which has resulted in less military cooperation and the possibility of providing modern weapon systems. The drone deliveries have added to Iran’s political isolation, giving Western officials the perception that Russia and Iran are cooperating more closely. Mutual fears and needs fuel Iran-Moscow relations.
