Russia is not going to lift a finger to help Iran. If Israel keeps the pressure on, Iran’s ability to assist Russia by supplying them with drones will be severely compromised.
Iran is denying that a drone strike by the Israelis only did “minor damage” to a defense compound in Isfahan containing several factories as well as the Iranian space agency.
You decide if there was “minor damage.”

That’s the story, and Iran is sticking to it.
“Such actions cannot impact the determination and intent of our experts for peaceful nuclear progress,” Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said, according to government news service PadDolat.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been in office since Dec. 29, and he didn’t waste any time letting the Iranians know he was back in charge.
