These targets include regional substations that support industrial zones and smaller power plants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Russian assessment regarding Israel\u2019s vulnerability is that \u201cunlike many European nations, Israel\u2019s power grid is characterized by a high degree of isolation\u201d. Because Israel is an \u201cenergy island\u201d that does not import electricity from neighboring countries, Russian intelligence reportedly told Iran that damaging even a few central components could trigger a total and prolonged energy collapse, leading to mass blackouts and technical failures that could not be easily mitigated.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\">Zelensky warns of growing Russia-Iran alliance<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ukrainian President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/international\/article-892154\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Volodymyr Zelensky;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Volodymyr Zelensky&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> has grown increasingly vocal about the Russia-Iran alliance, warning that the \u201cknowledge\u201d Russia has gained on the battlefields of Ukraine is being exported to the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe Russians also helped them, like the Iranians helped [Russia] at the beginning of the war when they gave them Shaheds,\u201d Zelensky told the <em>Post<\/em> in an interview two weeks ago. \u201cThey gained big knowledge on the battlefield and this impacting and will have an impact on other regions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Zelensky further claimed that Russia has begun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/international\/article-890168\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:providing Iran with Shahed-style drones;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;providing Iran with Shahed-style drones&quot;}\" class=\"link \">providing Iran with Shahed-style drones<\/a> manufactured on Russian soil.

These contacts have been intensively maintained between relevant Russian and Israeli agencies. The most pressing issues have been discussed at the highest level. We value track record which has been accumulated in this area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cRepresentatives of the Russian political leadership have repeatedly dissented from the \u2018accusations\u2019 that our country allegedly provides intelligence data to Iran,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/russia-provided-iran-list-israeli-211121059.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the findings, the targeted sites were divided into three categories based on their strategic importance.
