Manila Meeting: Lavrov, Rubio And Iran Strikes CIA Facilities
What was said
"I think because they're the Americans, they're going to ramp up the shadow war, the dirty war with the Ukrainians, more assassinations inside Russia, more uh uh attempts to kill people there, more targeted drone strikes of that kind."
Alexander Mercouris predicts Washington’s response to suspected Russian support for Iran will not centre on major new arms flows to Ukraine or broad sanctions alone, but on intensifying covert activity. He specifically forecasts more assassination attempts inside Russia and an expansion of targeted drone strikes, describing it as a plausible US intelligence response.
