Zelensky is in Washington pushing a sharp message: Russia is giving Iran satellite targeting data so their missiles can more precisely hit U.S. bases in the region.
He wants Trump to treat Moscow as a direct threat to American forces, not just a European problem.
Trump is unlikely to buy it as a reason to escalate against Putin.
Analysts like Ian Bremmer say U.S. and Europe are already running a proxy war against Russia through Ukraine, so of course Russia will return the favor by helping Iran cause problems for the U.S. in the Middle East.
That’s reciprocal proxy support, not a declaration of direct war.
2 overlapping conflicts can get messier and more connected without automatically becoming one single world war.
Supporting your enemy’s enemy has been standard great-power behavior for decades.
It raises the risk, but it doesn’t rewrite the rules of who is formally at war with whom.
