Russia and Iran have been Quietly Coordinating in Syria to pressure the United States to withdraw its forces from the country, according to a senior US military official. The official cited evidence of collaborative planning, understanding, and intelligence sharing between the Russian and Iranian militaries in Syria. Russian combat pilots have reduced threatening flights over US bases since the deployment of stealth F-22 fighter jets, and attacks by Iran-backed militias have also decreased since US airstrikes in March. However, concerns remain about the vulnerability of the remaining US troops in Syria and the potential for further Russian and Iranian cooperation.
