No escalation. No follow-up. No mention of Ukraine at all.
Instead, Russia suddenly shifted its focus to Iran — and is now positioning itself at the center of a growing global energy crisis.
So what changed?
In this video, we break down the Kremlin’s sudden silence, the strategic pivot toward Iran, and what this could mean for the future of the war in Ukraine. Is this a pause — or a much bigger move behind the scenes?
As tensions rise in the Middle East and global energy markets tighten, Russia may be playing a deeper geopolitical game that reshapes everything.
