John Helmer: Iran Beefing Up Defense System S-400, Zelensky Faces Total Meltdown

Amid escalating tensions, reports suggest Iran may have received and tested a Russian S-400 air defense system near Isfahan, signaling a major shift in regional military dynamics. This potential deployment could deter U.S. and Israeli airstrikes by putting their aircraft within range. The recent high-level call between Moscow and Tel Aviv, marked by unusual silence and delayed public response, hints at a strategic warning: Russian-backed defenses may now actively protect Iranian territory. Meanwhile, Ukraine's internal political struggles and Western pressure reveal deeper fractures, as peace efforts stall. With the U.S. rejecting negotiations and demanding capitulation, Russia appears to have abandoned hopes of diplomatic engagement, focusing instead on military advancement and securing its strategic borders. The global order is shifting—diplomacy gives way to deterrence, and the risk of broader conflict grows.
