American broadcaster NBC reported that Russia is supplying Iran with ammunition, explosives (TNT), and drone components via the Caspian Sea, helping to rebuild its military arsenal. The information is based on a European government document, confirmed by a Western source. According to the source, the continued shipments indicate a deepening strategic alliance between Tehran and Moscow, which face a common adversary—the US. The New York Times previously reported that about 60% of Iranian drones were destroyed during the recent war with the US and Israel. Iran is preparing for the next direct confrontation with the US or Israel. A senior Iranian official recently stated that the US has "weeks" to accept Iran's terms. This morning, an attack on a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, allegedly by Iran, was reported. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the strait will remain closed until the US fulfills the memorandum's conditions. The Caspian Sea route is used as a strategic corridor where there is no US military presence. Experts warn that this helps Iran withstand the blockade and prolongs the confrontation.
