联合国——拉脱维亚总统埃德加斯·林克维奇斯周三警告称，俄罗斯与伊朗之间的军事合作构成了日益严重的安全威胁。他在接受福克斯新闻数字频道的镜头采访时表示，伊朗无人机技术帮助莫斯科在乌克兰发动战争，同时拉脱维亚正准备参与美国领导的霍尔木兹海峡行动。
在联合国大会期间的间隙，林克维奇斯表示，拉脱维亚这个人口约184万、仍是北约东部侧翼核心成员国的国家，已经做出政治决定，派遣军事专家支持中东的国际行动，以响应唐纳德·特朗普总统对欧洲援助的呼吁。
“是的，我感到担忧。实际上，我们已经看到伊朗在很大程度上帮助了俄罗斯，尤其是在俄罗斯侵略乌克兰的最初阶段，”当被问及莫斯科与德黑兰之间日益密切的合作时，林克维奇斯说道。

“俄罗斯使用了首批伊朗制造或伊朗设计的无人机。如今俄罗斯实际上正在对其进行现代化改造，研发全新的技术。但实际上，核心设计仍然是伊朗的。”
本周早些时候，福克斯新闻数字频道披露了从俄罗斯外交部获取的文件，详细说明了2024至2026年间俄罗斯与伊朗在多个领域的合作路线图，包括核、金融、航空以及基础设施领域。
当被问及欧洲是否应在打击伊朗军事活动方面发挥更积极的作用，并响应特朗普的援助呼吁时，林克维奇斯证实，拉脱维亚已经采取步骤加入霍尔木兹海峡的国际行动。

“从我们这边来说，我们已经做出了议会决定。我们的爆炸物处理潜水员专家可以被派往霍尔木兹海峡或中东，帮助美国以及正在组建的联军，”他说。
林克维奇斯表示，拉脱维亚希望军事活动能让位于政治解决方案和全球能源供应的恢复，同时对与德黑兰和莫斯科进行谈判的前景表示怀疑。
“与伊朗开展外交非常非常困难。与俄罗斯打交道也是如此，”他说。
谈到欧洲的安全局势，林克维奇斯表示，尽管越来越多人担心莫斯科对北约东部侧翼的意图，但拉脱维亚没有看到俄罗斯即将发动军事入侵的迹象。
“如果俄罗斯能够攻击我们……那早就发生了，”他说。“俄罗斯军队已经不同于2022年了。还记得他们曾试图在三天内占领基辅。而在全面开战四年半后，他们仍在试图夺取乌克兰领土的某些小块区域。”

他解释称，拉脱维亚面临的直接威胁来自破坏活动、网络攻击和信息战，他称这些威胁正在加剧，并补充说欧洲领导人面临着一项艰巨的任务：在不造成不必要恐慌的情况下，让本国民众做好应对潜在威胁的准备。
林克维奇斯还警告称，北约必须加快适应快速变化的战争形态，尤其是无人机和导弹技术日益增长的作用。
尽管包括坦克和装甲运兵车在内的传统军事装备仍然至关重要，但这位总统表示，乌克兰战争已经证明了新技术正在以多快的速度改变战场格局。
总统对北约国防开支的增加表示欢迎，称赞特朗普推动了更多的投资，但他同时警告称，仅靠额外的资金无法解决联盟的军事战备挑战。
“你有钱，但并不总能立即买到所需装备，或者至少你可以下单订购，但无法确保能及时交付，”他说。

林克维奇斯表示，他计划在访美期间与美国国防公司会面，他说：“谈到美国的支持，我只想说，美国已经做得非常出色了。我们确实有美军驻扎，人数不算多，但我认为目前驻扎在莱尔瓦尔德空军基地的美军人数已经足够。”
“美国在波罗的海国家的存在非常重要，我们正与美国合作伙伴就进一步的轮换部署进行合作。”

UNITED NATIONS— Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs warned Wednesday that military cooperation between Russia and Iran poses a growing security concern, telling Fox News Digital in an on-camera interview that Iranian drone technology has helped Moscow wage war in Ukraine as Latvia prepares to contribute to a U.S.-led effort in the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, Rinkēvičs said Latvia, a country of approximately 1.84 million and still a core member of NATO’s eastern flank, has already made the political decision to send military specialists to support international operations in the Middle East in response to President Donald Trump’s request for European assistance.
“Yes, I am concerned. Actually, we have already seen Iran helping Russia a lot, especially at the very beginning of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine,” Rinkēvičs said when asked about the growing cooperation between Moscow and Tehran.

“The first drones Iranian made, or Iranian-designed drones, were used by Russia. Now Russians are actually modernizing them, making completely new technologies. But, actually, the design is still Iranian.”
Earlier this week, Fox News Digital revealed documents obtained from the Russian Foreign Ministry detailing a roadmap between Russia and Iran for cooperation between 2024-2026 in multiple fields, including nuclear, finance and aviation, as well as infrastructure.
Asked whether Europe should take a more active role in countering Iran’s military activities and respond to Trump’s call for support, Rinkēvičs confirmed that Latvia has already taken steps toward joining an international effort in the Strait of Hormuz.

“From our side, we have already made a parliamentary decision. That our EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) diver specialists could be sent to the Strait of Hormuz or to the Middle East to help out the United States, the coalition that is being formed,” he said.
Rinkēvičs said Latvia hopes military activities will give way to a political solution and the restoration of global energy supplies, while expressing skepticism about the prospects for negotiations with Tehran and Moscow.
“It’s very, very difficult to have diplomacy with Iran. It’s very difficult with Russia,” he said.
Turning to the security situation in Europe, Rinkēvičs said Latvia does not see evidence of an imminent Russian military invasion despite growing concerns about Moscow’s intentions toward NATO’s eastern flank.
“If Russia were able to attack us … that would have happened already,” he said. “The Russian military is not the same as it used to be back in 2022. Remember they tried to take Kyiv in three days. They are still trying to take some certain small pieces of Ukrainian territory 4½ years after the full-fledged.”

Explaining the immediate threat to Latvia comes instead from sabotage, cyberattacks and information campaigns, which he described as intensifying, adding that European leaders face the difficult task of preparing their populations for potential threats without creating unnecessary panic.
Rinkēvičs also warned that NATO must accelerate its adaptation to the rapidly changing nature of warfare, particularly the growing role of drones and missile technology.
While traditional military equipment, including tanks and armored personnel carriers, remains essential, the president said the war in Ukraine has demonstrated how quickly new technologies are transforming the battlefield.
The president welcomed increased NATO defense spending, crediting Trump’s push for greater investment, but cautioned that additional funding alone would not resolve the alliance’s military readiness challenges.
“You have money, but not always you can buy the stuff immediately, or at least you can order things. And they are delivered soon enough,” he said.

Rinkēvičs said he plans to meet with U.S. defense companies during his visit to the U.S., saying, “When it comes to the U.S. support, let me just say that the United States does an amazing job already. We do have U.S. troops, not big numbers, but I think sufficient numbers are now stationed in our airbase in Lielvārde.
“U.S. presence in the Baltics is very important, and we are working with our U.S. partners about further rotations.”
