Tehran's Sanctions-Busting Scheme Threatens Regional Security
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has reportedly built covert military and trade ties with Myanmar’s military junta, supplying illicit jet fuel shipments and arms, which have been used to bomb civilian targets in rebel-held areas. The partnership has enhanced the junta’s drone capabilities, giving it complete air superiority. This development raises concerns for India’s national security, as Iran’s influence in the region could potentially expand to Bangladesh and nurture ties with Pakistan-backed terror outfits. The situation was first reported by the Middle East Forum Observer.
