Is Iran supplying ballistic missiles to Russia for the Ukraine war?
Al Jazeera
The variant Iran allegedly sent to Russia is a tactical battlefield weapon not meant for strikes deep inside Ukraine.
Tehran, Iran – Ukraine’s Western allies claim Iran has sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia in a major escalation – a claim Tehran has rejected as “completely baseless and false” and pointed to what it sees as Western hypocrisy.
The United States, Britain, France and Germany on Tuesday imposed more sanctions on Iran for what they called Tehran’s “escalatory” decision. They provided no evidence and the weapon has not been observed in the battlefield yet.
Tehran has described the latest sanctions on Iranian firms and individuals as “economic terrorism”.
The Kremlin, however, has not refuted the reports, instead branding Iran an “important partner”.
The Western allies have accused Iran of giving Russia some 200 ballistic missiles of the Fath-360 model potentially slated to be used in Ukraine within weeks. Russia has been fighting a war with Ukraine, which has been backed by the West, since 2022.
