EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has accused Russia of actively backing Iran in targeting and killing Americans, claiming Moscow is sharing intelligence that enables strikes on US personnel and assets. The explosive charge comes at a time when the Middle East conflict is already pushing global markets and diplomacy to the edge. According to Kallas, the growing Russia-Iran nexus is not just strategic, it’s operational. From alleged drone support to deeper military coordination, Western leaders are now questioning whether Moscow is fueling instability far beyond Ukraine. The issue has taken center stage at the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting near Paris, where leaders are grappling with a rapidly expanding West Asia crisis. Kallas has drawn a direct link between the war in Ukraine and the Middle East escalation, urging the United States to pressure Russia to halt its support for Iran. WATCH
