Confirmed presence of a Russian nuclear submarine near the Strait of Hormuz.
Moscow has officially deployed six submarines, including two nuclear ones, near the Strait of Hormuz for a discreet mission to protect Iranian infrastructure, according to reports. Their primary role is to prevent the United States and Israel from freely entering the strait or approaching the Iranian coast.
This deployment sends a strong political message to the West, signaling that any major escalation against Iran could directly involve Russia.
