A number of Western media outlets, citing European officials, reported that Iran had supplied Russia with Fath-360 short-range tactical missiles. The Iranian parliament confirmed the deal, Military Watch Magazine writes.
According to sources, Russia received over 200 Fath-360 missiles. At the same time, the Iranian mission to the UN denied the supply of weapons.
The export of missiles to Russia was confirmed by Iranian deputy, member of the parliamentary committee on national security Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani.
According to him, it is a barter: soybeans and wheat in exchange for missiles and drones. Ardestani said that the transfer of missiles to Russia would not lead to tougher sanctions against Iran.
It can't get any worse than it is now. We give missiles to Hezbollah, Hamas, so why not give them to Russia?
It should be noted that the Russian Ministry of Defense has not confirmed information about the transfer of Iranian missiles.
