The New Cold War and the Middle East

From Poland to Iran to the Philippines.

On Monday, Poland downed a drone flying over its capital and detained two Belarusian citizens in connection with the incident. It was from Belarus that Russia launched its drone incursion into Poland last week. In response, Warsaw is calling on NATO to establish a no-fly zone. These events occur as Iran, which supplied Russia with the drones it has been using, continues to wage war against Israel and threaten other American interests in the Middle East. In the South China Sea yesterday, Chinese ships again harassed Philippine vessels.
