AFGHANISTAN, June 9 - Iran Update, June 8, 2023Ashka Jhaveri, Andie Parry, Johanna Moore, and Nicholas CarlThe Iran Update aims to inform national security policy by providing timely, relevant, and independent open-source analysis of developments pertaining to Iran and its Axis of Resistance. Russia would either play no role in an Iranian attack campaign or only conduct information operations to support Iran. Iran and Russia coordinate on when and where Iranian-backed forces attack, but Russia does not directly support them. Keeping Russian forces out of a conflict between the United States and Iran would reduce the risk of a confrontation between the United States and Russia. Iran and Russia share intelligence to support Iranian-backed attacks on US forces.
