The chiefs of the U.S. intelligence agencies visited Capitol Hill on Tuesday and shared an unclassified version of their annual threat assessment. The report said Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are working in tandem and in isolation to challenge American interests with a range of tactics, including promoting alternatives to the U.S. for trade, finance and security.
“They seek to challenge the United States and other countries through deliberate campaigns to gain an advantage while also trying to avoid direct war,” the assessment said. “Growing cooperation between and among these adversaries is increasing their fortitude against the United States, the potential for hostilities with any one of them to draw in another, and pressure on other global actors to choose sides.”
American spies are observing China, Iran, Russia and North Korea working closer together in opposition to America, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Tuesday said the increased collaboration probably won’t end soon.
Ms. Gabbard said Russia has pushed for greater teamwork with America’s foes to fuel its war effort against Ukraine, including protection from Western sanctions. She said Russia has exchanged military capabilities with North Korea, relied heavily on China’s financial and defense industries, and expanded financial ties with Iran.
