Concerns have escalated in the UK and US regarding a potential nuclear collaboration between Iran and Russia. During a recent summit in Washington, US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer discussed fears that Russia may be sharing nuclear technology with Iran in exchange for ballistic missiles to support its military operations in Ukraine. This development comes as Iran is reportedly enriching uranium to pursue its nuclear ambitions. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken highlighted the two-way nature of this relationship, indicating that both nations are engaging in destabilizing activities that could increase global insecurity. The UK, France, and Germany have expressed alarm over Iran's growing stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which could be used to develop nuclear weapons. The situation is further complicated by Iran's support for Hamas and its proxy Hezbollah, which poses a direct threat to Israel. The summit also addressed military cooperation between the US and UK, including discussions about allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russian targets. The meeting underscored the deepening alliance between Iran and Russia, which is seen as part of a broader geopolitical shift reminiscent of Cold War dynamics.
