00:00Russian military planes continue to land in Iran one after the other.
00:09Iranian analyst Hail Mwazi wrote about this.
00:13Events are developing very interestingly.
00:15I mentioned in my analysis that if the war starts, Russia will be with Iran, he said.
00:22It should be noted that Iran is expected to attack Israel in order to avenge Ismail Haniyeh,
00:27the head of Hamas, who was killed in Tehran.
00:30The U.S. president has vowed to help Israel counter Iran's looming attack but warned the
00:35Israeli prime minister not to count on U.S. support if he escalates further and keeps
00:40Washington in the dark, as he did with the killing of a Hamas leader in Tehran.
00:45According to an Axios report citing two U.S. officials, President Joe Biden had a
00:50tough call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where he vented his frustration from the fallout
00:55from Israel's escalatory action, as his administration tries to broker a hostage-and-ceasefire
01:01deal between Israel and Hamas.
01:04Iranian officials convened in Tehran with representatives from Iran-backed groups to
01:08discuss plans for what is said to be a joint mission against Israel, which they blame for
01:13the killing of Haniyeh and Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr.
01:18Iran and its allies are preparing coordinated actions intended to deter Israel while avoiding
01:23full-scale war, according to AFP.
01:34Russia intends to deploy offensive missiles within striking distance of Western Europe
01:39if the United States fulfills its promise to deploy a similar capability in Germany
01:44in 2026, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during celebrations to mark Russian Navy
01:50Day, Defense News reports.
01:53He said Russia would take mirror measures to deploy the weapons, which can carry nuclear
01:58warheads, taking into account the actions of the United States, its satellites in Europe
02:03and other regions of the world.
02:05Putin added that American plans to deploy medium-range missiles in Germany pose a threat
02:10to Russia.
02:11The flight time to targets on our territory for such missiles, which in the future could
02:16be equipped with nuclear warheads, will be about 10 minutes, the dictator emphasized.
02:21Defense News recalled that on July 10, the White House said the U.S. plans to begin episodic
02:27deployment of conventional missiles in Germany in 2026.
02:31The statement said that these long-range conventional fires will include the SM-6, Tomahawk and
02:38hypersonic weapons under development that have significantly greater range than current
02:43land-based fires in Europe.
02:46Nikolai Sokov, a senior fellow at the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation
02:51Studies, who studies Russian missiles and arms control, said it was unclear exactly
02:56what missiles Moscow would try to use or deploy.
03:00He added that the land-based caliber was an obvious choice, stressing that it would be
03:05easy to develop and test before 2026.
03:08In addition, increasing the range of the Iskander or reviving the suspended Rubez project could
03:13be on the agenda.
03:14The publication emphasizes that Iskander missiles are already deployed in Kaliningrad
03:19and Belarus, while longer-range systems could be located deep inside Russian territory,
03:25which would increase the early warning time on both sides.
03:29There is also a cruise missile, the 9M729, which the U.S. believes was fielded in the
03:342010s, Michael Ditzman, a research fellow at the James Martin Center for Non-Proliferation
03:41Studies in California, said in an email to Defense News.
03:45According to him, Putin in his Sunday speech mentioned coastal troops, which could include
03:50coastal artillery.
03:52The Russian military has used two of these systems, BAL and Bastion, to strike land targets
03:57in Ukraine.
03:58With the Onyx-M missiles, the Bastion unit based in Kaliningrad could hypothetically
04:04strike all of Poland in addition to its anti-ship mission, the expert believes.
04:09Earlier, the German publication NTV, citing a statement from the federal government, wrote
04:15that Russian threats against Washington and Berlin regarding the deployment of long-range
04:20weapons will not lead to a change in plans.
04:22"'We will not allow ourselves to be frightened by such statements,' stressed a representative
04:28of the German Federal Foreign Office.
04:30According to him, Russia has been arming itself for years and waging a war of conquest in
04:35Europe against Ukraine, so Germany must respond to this."
