America’s warships could face a new and potentially dangerous threat as reports emerge of possible Russian and Chinese assistance to Iran. A Wall Street Journal report stated that US officials fear Russia or China may be helping Tehran identify and target American warships deployed in West Asia. Separately, the Financial Times has reported on an alleged Russian programme aimed at helping Iran develop advanced supersonic cruise missiles using ramjet technology. Such weapons could pose a serious challenge to naval defences if successfully developed and deployed. Iran has already pursued ramjet technology, while Russia is alleged to have provided technical expertise, missile assistance and other military support to Tehran. China, meanwhile, has also faced US accusations over assistance to Iran, including alleged satellite-related support. With Russia confronting the West over Ukraine, Iran locked in confrontation with Washington, and China competing with the US for greater geopolitical influence, growing military cooperation between the three countries could significantly raise the stakes for American forces in the region.
