Gen. Alexus Grynkewich also expressed fears over Russian and Chinese influence taking hold as superpowers vie for economic and military influence in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, he said,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/2022\/07\/11\/iran-to-deliver-armed-drones-to-russia-white-house-says\/\">recent U.S. intelligence that Iran is preparing to send Russia<\/a>&nbsp;armed and unarmed drones to use in its war on Ukraine \u201cis not a surprise \u2026 but it\u2019s concerning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/airforcetimes\/news\/2022\/07\/13\/iranian-envoy-responds-to-us-claim-its-selling-drones-to-russia\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22083620840539.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Iranian envoy responds to US claim it\u2019s selling drones to Russia<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Earlier in the war, Iran was criticized in the West for not condemning Russia\u2019s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran\u2019s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grynkewich, who had served as director of operations at Central Command in Tampa, Florida, thousands of miles from the baking desert outside of Doha, Qatar\u2019s capital, spoke as regional tensions remain high over Iran\u2019s rapidly expanding nuclear program and talks to revive&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/politics-iran-dubai-nuclear-united-arab-emirates-cb297fc7bbe0f59acf5b20cdefe352a7\">Tehran\u2019s nuclear deal with world powers at a deadlock<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re in this position where we\u2019re not under attack constantly, but we do see planning for attacks ongoing,\u201d Grynkewich said. \u201cSomething will occur that unleashes that planning and that preparation against us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/space-launches-middle-east-iran-tehran-european-union-b197265d72809ef97c7cd12cd3c33f07\">tested a satellite-carrying rocket<\/a>&nbsp;last month, prompting the White House to threaten more sanctions on Tehran to prevent it from accelerating its advanced ballistic missile program. And last week,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-biden-africa-israel-iran-ba943ceaceb78d17cf50c64511ba6db4\">as President Joe Biden toured the region<\/a>, Iran unveiled armed drones on its warships in the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tehran has rapidly grown its stockpile of near-weapons-grade nuclear fuel in recent months, spreading fears about an escalation. It also has spun more advanced centrifuges prohibited under the landmark atomic accord, which former President Donald Trump abandoned in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone in the region is very concerned,\u201d Grynkewich said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still in recent weeks, he said, U.S. forces have seen a reduction in targeted attacks across the region, as a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/united-nations-yemen-middle-east-35773313fc24f039977c670376818077\">tenuous cease-fire between Iran-backed Houthi rebels<\/a>&nbsp;and the Saudi-led military coalition continues in Yemen and as an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/politics-religion-iran-elections-iraq-6a632bd2d3385178801c23f36598b21c\">ongoing government formation process in Baghdad<\/a>&nbsp;keeps Iran-backed militias in limbo, waiting for the political chaos to settle before they strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re in a bit of a period of stasis,\u201d Grynkewich said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As other threats subside, the U.S. has sharpened its focus on containing and countering Russian and Chinese influence in the region, Grynkewich said, noting that Russia is seeking to maintain the leverage it gained from years of military intervention in the region, such as in Syria where it helped save President Bashar Assad\u2019s government and turned the tide of the war in his favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grynkewich said an apparent reversal of the military relationship between Russia and Iran \u2014 with Moscow potentially interested in procuring drones from a traditional buyer of its own military equipment \u2014 \u201cshows a bit more of a relationship than we\u2019d like them to have, given the context of everything going on in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-putin-syria-iran-289c3422c8980e7650dbde2c326d248a\">visited Tehran on a rare trip abroad and won staunch support<\/a>&nbsp;from Iran for the war that has plunged the Kremlin deeper into confrontation with the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, China\u2019s significant economic inroads in the region have raised concerns about the country\u2019s plans \u201cto secure those interests either through arms sales or other means,\u201d Grynkewich said. In China, many Gulf Arab states have found an investor that won\u2019t lecture them about human rights concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite appearances to the contrary after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the U.S. isn\u2019t quitting the region, Grynkewich insisted, a case Biden made repeatedly on his Mideast tour last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With tens of thousands of American forces stationed across the Arabian Peninsula and some still in Iraq, as well as America\u2019s superior military power, Grynkewich said, the U.S. is trying to convince its allies that, \u201cif you partner with us, you\u2019re getting to get a relationship that\u2019s much more deep and meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lt.
