๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Now we know why Russia warned about the Caspian.

Last week Israel struck Bandar Anzali, Iran's main Caspian port, hitting warships, a command center, and a shipyard. Israel's first ever strike on the world's largest inland sea.

The Caspian is the primary corridor for Russian-Iranian military and trade cooperation such as drones, artillery, ammunition, wheat, oil. Shipments through Bandar Anzali tripled last year.

The WSJ calls this "smuggling." Russia and Iran are two sovereign states conducting bilateral trade and military cooperation. The only crime is that Washington sanctioned it.

Russia condemned the strike. Peskov warned further spillover would be viewed "extremely negatively." Israel didn't publicly mention Russia when announcing the attack, deliberately avoiding forcing Moscow's hand.

It struck the corridor anyway.

lol

People should just stop mentioning that Russia condemned something for the billionth time. It's just pure second hand embarrasment.
