Russia, Iran & Israel: Are They Really Enemies? | Middle East Explained

Description

Despite Moscow’s alignment with Tehran, Russia and Israel continue to engage diplomatically and even coordinate in certain theaters. This conversation breaks down how Russia balances Iran, Israel, and Syria — and why Middle East geopolitics is rarely black and white. #Russia #Israel #Iran #MiddleEast #Syria #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #NationalSecurity
