MORE: ISW continues to assess that the Kremlin is dangling the prospect of bilateral arms control talks in front of the United States to secure Russia’s desired demands in Ukraine and deflect from Russia’s responsibility for the lack of progress in Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations.
Russia has been trying to manufacture an escalation in recent months, including by withdrawing from the INF Treaty in August 2025, to coerce the Trump administration to engage in arms control talks.
Putin’s posturing aims to reinforce the Kremlin’s false narrative that a Russian victory in Ukraine is inevitable, so Ukraine and the West should concede to Russia’s maximalist demands now out of fear that Russian aggression will only worsen in the future. x.com/TheStudyofWar/status/1970305000514691246

NEW: Some Iranian hardliners are renewing calls to revise Iran’s nuclear doctrine as part of a broader effort to restore deterrence after the Israel-Iran War and two years of Israeli military actions that have collectively weakened Iran’s missile program and the Axis of Resistance, both of which were long pillars of Iran’s deterrence.
Iranian parliamentarian Mohsen Zanganeh stated in an interview on September 20 that Iran conducted a missile test on September 18 and said that Iran is “conducting a security test of an intercontinental [ballistic] missile.” It is unclear if Zanganeh is stating that Iran conducted an ICBM missile test on September 18 or plans to conduct one in the future.
