By Micah Halpern
Russia's military cooperation with Iran will not succumb to geopolitical pressure, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said. His comments came following reports that Washington has asked Teheran to stop selling drones to Moscow. According to a report from RIA, a Russian State News Agency, Ryabkov said: "There are no changes, and cooperation with Iran will continue … We are independent states and do not succumb to the dictates of the United States and its satellites." And citing an Iranian official and another source the Financial Times has reported that the United States is pressing Iran to stop selling the armed drones, which Russia is using in the war in Ukraine. Russia began using the Iranian-made Shahed drones to attack deep inside Ukraine last year. The so-called kamikaze unmanned drones do not need a runway to launch and they explode on impact.
