Putin’s ‘hidden hand’ guides Iran’s strikes in widening war

The alliance between Russia and Iran, particularly in the context of military support, underscores a significant shift in geopolitical dynamics. As both nations seek to challenge U.S. presence and influence, their cooperation could embolden Iran's actions, raising the stakes for U.S. forces and allies in the region. This 'hidden hand' of Russia not only aids Iran tactically but also signals a deeper entrenchment of adversarial relationships that could reshape regional security.
