Israel is said to strike Iran-Russia supply route in Caspian Sea:
An Israeli strike on Iran’s Caspian Sea port of Bandar Anzali disrupted a key supply route used by Russia and Iran to transfer weapons, including drones and ammunition, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the situation.
The attack, Israel’s first in the inland sea, hit naval facilities, vessels and infrastructure tied to military logistics. The Caspian corridor has been a critical link for moving Iranian drones and munitions to Russia, while also supporting broader trade between the two countries.
The strike highlights growing cooperation between Moscow and Tehran during the war, as well as Israel’s efforts to disrupt those ties. It may also have knock-on effects for civilian supply chains, including food and energy, given the overlap between military and commercial shipping in the region.
While the operation could temporarily slow weapons flows, analysts expect Russia and Iran to reroute shipments through alternative channels. Moscow condemned the attack, warning against further escalation in the Caspian, the Journal reported.
