🇺🇲🇮🇷🇷🇺🇨🇳U.S. Officials Fear Russia or China Boosting Iranian Missile Accuracy Against American Bases in Middle East.
According to WSJ, U.S. officials are concerned recent Iranian missile and drone strikes on American bases and infrastructure in the Middle East have become much more accurate.
They suspect this improvement may result from military or intelligence support from Russia and/or China.
This comes after deadly attacks, including one in Jordan, amid broader cooperation between Iran and these powers.
No public evidence has fully confirmed direct real-time help, but the trend is worrying U.S officials and defense partners.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran has seemingly cracked the code on beating U.S. missile defenses.
U.S. Officials say their missiles are flying faster and pulling crazy maneuvers, making them tough to stop.
Plus, their aim is getting a lot better.
There’s a big suspicion that China or Russia is helping them out with the targeting tech.
