On October 1st, Iranian forces carried out an attack with around 180 ballistic missiles against Israel, in retaliation for its recent operations ground attacks in Lebanon and assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah at the end of September.

Tensions in the Middle East They have only increased since October 7, 2023 .

As these different scenarios play out, U.S. officials They assured that Russia, China, North Korea and Iran They strengthened their military relations with each other .

At a meeting of the United States Security Council in late September, Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that the flow of military aid from North Korea and Iran to Russia must be stopped .

This includes ballistic missiles, drones and artillery shells .

According to statements collected by the New York TimesBlinken also assured that China sent tools, microelectronics and other supplies to the Kremlin’s defense industry .

A senior US official told the aforementioned newspaper that: So far, Russian nuclear aid to Iran appears to be aimed at its civilian program .

However, he suggested that collaboration between the two countries and “spatial information” could allow Iranian forces to eventually develop intercontinental ballistic missiles .

Other officials from the North American country said, according to the Times, that Russia is also considering supplying advanced anti-ship cruise missiles to Yemen’s Houthis. which are supported by Iran and are part of the Axis of Resistance.

“The closer cooperation between North Korea, Iran and Russia pose a challenge to all of us, of course, including the United States, and with China’s help in one way or another. “.

Different international analysts have stated that The connection between these parts is maintained based on the convenience of each country’s specific objectives. moreover, they share a common ideology.

In fact, US officials have stated that China has given alleged signs of its desire to remain within the global network of institutions and trade that the United States has dominated for decades. despite the sanctions imposed.

They nevertheless suggested that Xi Jinping’s government seek move the North American country within it, instead of building a new .

The director of the think tank’s China program Stimson Center Yun Sun, commented to the aforementioned media that “China’s foreign policy uses the United States as a yardstick” .

“This means that when China looks at Russia, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (better known as North Korea) and Iran, sees anti-American partners “.

In this sense, he clarified: “China believes that it does not have an alliance or axis with these countries, since what anchors its alignment is the United States. But For the final result, motivation counts much less than substance and relationships are seen as an axis.

As a comparative example, in simpler terms, he commented: “When he walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, he’s a duck.” .

During a mid-September visit to Ukraine with Blinken, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that “We are witnessing this new axis between Russia, Iran, North Korea” .

“We urge China not to join this renegade group renegades who are costing lives here in Ukraine.”
