Will Russia and China Defend Iran Against Israel? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

While Iran has no friends remaining in the Western world, it has cultivated close ties with countries like Russia and China. Both nations appeared to defend Iran's actions at the United Nations Security Council by pointing to Israel's strike on Iran's consulate in Syria. Russia has played a key role in modernising Iran's air defence system and fighter jets. Meanwhile, China is the top buyer of Iranian oil despite Western sanctions. Although Iran can count on political support from Beijing and Moscow, will these countries defend Iran militarily? Can Russia shift its focus from beating Ukraine to defending Iran? Palki Sharma tells you why it's unlikely.
