Russia may be quietly shaping Iran’s battlefield tactics as the conflict in West Asia intensifies. Britain’s Defence Secretary John Healey says Iranian drone attacks now show clear similarities to Russian methods used in Ukraine under Vladimir Putin. More than 2,000 Shahed drones have already been launched across the region, with pilots flying them lower to avoid air defences. A Western base in Erbil was recently struck, though British troops were unharmed. Meanwhile, Iran has vowed to keep attacking US bases and blocking the Strait of Hormuz. With oil prices surging and tensions rising, Western officials are now asking a troubling question: how deep does Moscow’s influence on Iran’s war strategy really go?
