During a summit in Washington DC on Friday, Keir Starmer, the British prime minister, and US President Joe Biden stressed the need to strengthen military cooperation between the two countries at a time when Iran is working to enrich uranium enough to achieve its long-term goal of building a nuclear bomb, according to the Guardian.
British sources indicated that concerns about sharing nuclear technology were raised as part of the growing alliance between Tehran And Moscow.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made clear at a summit in London last week that Russia was sharing technology with Iran, including nuclear technology and space intelligence. Blinken warned that these activities undermine global stability and increase insecurity.
Britain, France and Germany also warned that the stockpile Iran Its stockpile of highly enriched uranium has “grown dramatically,” raising concerns about its ability to manufacture a nuclear bomb in the near future.
However, it is not yet clear what technical capabilities Iran has to build Nuclear weaponBut cooperation with Russian experts could speed up this process, although Iran denies seeking to build nuclear bomb.
According to the newspaper, these developments come at a sensitive time in the Middle East, as Iran’s continued support for Hamas and Hezbollah is considered a direct threat to Israel, which is monitoring developments in the Iranian nuclear program with great concern.
Iran also began supplying Russia with Shahed drones since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and helped Moscow build a factory to produce more of the drones to bomb Ukrainian targets.
In light of this growing alliance between Iran and Russia, Western concerns are growing about the impact of this partnership on the global balance and stability in the region.
