In this video, human rights lawyer Dimitri Lascaris and Russia expert John Helmer examine a surprising escalation: Why did Ukraine attack an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea—and who may be behind this new front?
Their discussion moves from a tense meeting between Sergey Lavrov and Marco Rubio to the question of whether Russia is providing Iran with intelligence support.

This video was produced by Reason2Resist and published on their YouTube channel on the 28th of July, 2026.
