US Warns of Potential Russian Air Defense Supply to Iran or Hezbollah

Iran may provide ballistic missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine, escalating Middle East tensions.

White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby warns that Russia may provide either Iran or Hezbollah with air defense capabilities, potentially escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Iran may be considering providing Russia with ballistic missiles for use in Ukraine, in exchange for billions of dollars worth of military equipment from Russia.
The Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary organization, is preparing to provide an air defense capability to either Hezbollah or Iran at the direction of the Russian government.
Kirby also noted that Iran is seeking to purchase additional military equipment from Russia, including attack helicopters, radars, and combat trainer aircraft.
The US is prepared to use counterterrorism sanctions against Russian individuals or entities that might make these 'destabilizing transfers.'
