ISW’s Adversary Entente Task Force offers a holistic assessment of how these Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are aligning their foreign policies, diplomatic engagements, defense industrial bases, and military activities in order to counter US national security interests. The Task Force evaluates the trajectory of the cooperation between these four adversaries; identifies the threats the increased cooperation poses to the United States and US interests; and assesses vulnerabilities within the Entente to support US policymaking.

OVERVIEW

Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are increasingly cooperating to undermine US national security and defense; challenge US leadership and global power; split and weaken America’s regional allies; and establish their own mutually empowered regional hegemonies. Their growing cooperation in Russia’s unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine is an alarming sign of the potential for their entente to undertake wider military action.
