US says deepening Russia-Iran alliance "profound threat"

US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price has said that the entire world should view the deepening alliance between Russia and Iran as a profound threat.

"That’s why we’re working with the international community, including at the United Nations, to address the threats that are posed by Russia and Iran separately and the cooperation, the bilateral cooperation that we’ve seen between the two of them, including Iran’s dangerous proliferation of weapon systems to Russia," he said in a press briefing on November 10, Caliber.Az reports.

Price said Washington will continue to vigorously enforce all US sanctions on both the Russian and Iranian arms trade.

"We’ll make it harder for Iran to sell these weapons to Russia. And we’ll stand with our partners throughout the region against the threat that they face from Iran. As I said before, when it comes to Ukraine, we’ll also continue to provide Ukraine with the security assistance, including the surface-to-air systems, that it needs to confront the threat that it faces from some of these Iranian-made weapons."
