Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a deal with Iran to supply drones and other armaments to kill Ukrainians, in exchange for money and tech support for missile systems – specifically missile components that sanctions put beyond its reach. The answer: part of the complex web of interests running through the war-ravaged nation. Talks underway to release four American citizens illegally held in Iran are closing in on completion, according to a regional diplomat; Iran recently, but erroneously, said the deal was done – a strategy used in the past that indicates Tehran is hungry for the benefits such a deal might bring. All that stood in its way at times was Russia. Most of America’s regional allies think the JCPOA deal, as it was known, is effectively dead. One place they know they won’t get relief is over the glacial Iran nuclear deal talks.

Washington carried out the initial strikes after the Pentagon said a US contractor died – and another contractor and five military personnel were wounded – by a drone “of Iranian origin” that struck a US-led coalition base near Hasakeh in north-eastern Syria on Thursday.
