Iran - Russia - North Korea Alliance Deepens Amid Global Conflicts

Iran and Russia have steadily strengthened their bilateral cooperation over the past couple of years, primarily based on the destruction of common adversaries, a shared ideological alignment, and expanded military collaboration.

Tehran and Moscow have intensified their arms trade and technical assistance on defense matters, punctuating their strategic alignment.

The Iranian-Russian alliance is rooted in historical myths and nationalist sentiments, particularly against neighboring countries, with the shared goal of countering Western dominance.

Since the beginning of 2024, Iran has been sending Russia surface-to-surface ballistic missiles and will likely continue to do so. It was recently reported that Tehran has so far sent the Russian military about 400 missiles, many of which are of the Fateh-110 group.

North Korea has become the latest party to the Iranian-Russian partnership as a supplier of artillery shells, and possibly missiles, to Russia.
