Military Alliance

The military alliance between Moscow and Tehran is taking a new form: Russia is transferring drone components to Iran via the Caspian Sea, helping it restore capabilities damaged during the war against the U.S. and Israel. This route, previously used by Iran to supply Russia, is now operating in the opposite direction.

Ankara seeks to include Egypt in a new defense agreement with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, but Cairo is leveraging this rapprochement to promote investments, a Turkish industrial zone in the Suez Canal, and an increase in bilateral trade to $15 billion.
