Cause for concern!
Was this a high stakes gamble to target Russia? Good, that Putin the Terrible is bogged down in the Russia-Ukraine War thanks to the very effective Ukrainian defense!
So far World War III (Russo-Ukrainian War by any other name) has been geographically very limited. Will this war expand to other geographical regions?
"... Israeli strikes on a major Caspian Sea port in northern Iran last week targeted Russian support for Iran in the ongoing war ... This report is consistent with CTP-ISW's previous reporting that the IDF struck a Caspian Sea port that Iran uses to trade both military and non-military goods with Russia. The IDF targeted “dozens” of vessels, a command center, and a shipyard at Bandar Anzali Port, Gilan Province, on March 18. The Israeli strike on the port followed reports that Russia has provided Iran with satellite imagery and Shahed drones since the war began. Israeli media reported on March 19 that the Israeli strikes in Bandar Anzali “shut down” a critical supply line between Iran and Russia for both basic goods, such as wheat imports, and military equipment.The Wall Street Journal added on March 24 that Russia uses the Caspian Sea to receive Iranian Shahed drones as well as artillery shells and other ammunition to resupply its troops on the front lines with Ukraine. More than 300,000 artillery shells and a million rounds of ammunition were shipped from Iran to Russia in 2023 via the Caspian Sea, according to unspecified documents seen by the Wall Street Journal."
