 According to reports, Russia will provide Iran with modern satellites.

According to the Washington Post, Russia is planning to equip Iran with an advanced satellite that will allow it to track possible military targets across the Middle East.

According to the Post, the plan would send a Russian-made Kanopus-V satellite with a high-resolution camera that could be launched from Russia within months.

The study was released only days before US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet in Geneva, and as Iran and the US hold indirect negotiations on resurrecting a 2015 nuclear deal that aimed to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.

According to the article, the satellite would allow "constant observation of installations ranging from Persian Gulf oil refineries and Israeli military outposts to Iraqi barracks that hold US troops."

While the Kanopus-V is marketed for civilian use, leaders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps have made several trips to Russia since 2018 to help negotiate the agreement, the Post said.

It was also revealed that Russian scientists traveled to Iran this spring to assist in the training of crews who would operate the satellite from a newly constructed station at Karaj, west of Tehran.

China's activities, notably the expansion of its nuclear weapons, have put the "rules-based international order" at jeopardy, according to Nato. It was the first time Nato had put China at the top of its priority list.
