Russia has reportedly traded crucial nuclear secrets with Iran in exchange for ballistic missiles to be aimed at Ukraine, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The deal, which has raised serious concerns, was a key topic during recent discussions between U.S. President Joe Biden and UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer at the White House.
U.S. President Joe Biden and UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer met at the White House and discussed this recent deal with Russia and Iran, officials said.
Intelligence reports suggest Iran's long-standing efforts to develop nuclear weapons may be nearing completion, with Russia playing a pivotal role. In exchange for the transfer of nuclear expertise, Iran has supplied Russia with Fath-360 ballistic missiles, which Russian President Vladimir Putin has received from Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
This alarming partnership has deepened fears that Moscow could push Tehran to finally acquire a nuclear weapon, The Sun reported.

During his visit to London, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that Russia and Iran are engaging in a mutually beneficial relationship, involving the exchange of military technology and nuclear knowledge. This cooperation is seen as a serious threat to global stability, particularly in Israel, where fears of an existential threat loom large.
In response to the missile shipment, the UK has banned Iran Air from its airspace and imposed sanctions on Russian shipping firms involved in transporting the rockets.
Meanwhile, Western officials discussed the possibility of allowing Ukraine to use UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles to strike deep inside Russia, although no final decision has been made.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has previously warned about Russia and Iran engaging in a mutually beneficial relationship.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned Iran’s involvement, calling it a “dangerous escalation,” but Tehran denies its role in the missile transfer.
Meanwhile, former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a staunch supporter of Ukraine, urged the West to give Ukraine access to British military equipment to defend against Russian attacks. Johnson, who recently visited wounded Ukrainian soldiers in Kyiv, criticized the delay in authorizing the use of Storm Shadow missiles, stressing that earlier action could have saved lives.

As Sir Keir prepares for talks in Italy about the Storm Shadow missiles, pressure is mounting on other European powers like France and Germany to back increased military aid to Ukraine. However, President Biden remains cautious, concerned that the use of long-range missiles could provoke further escalation from Russia.
Putin has already issued warnings, suggesting that the use of such missiles could lead to open conflict between Russia and NATO, raising the stakes of the ongoing war.
