Iran

Iran will conduct a large scale naval wargame this week in the Persian Gulf, just as U.S. carriers are surging into the region. The U.S. accuses Iran and Syria of trying to topple the Lebanese government. Russia will not back the current UNSC draft to curb Iran’s nuclear enrichment program. Russia will move forward with its sale of air defense missiles to Iran.
