Source: IRNA

Russian National Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev has arrived in Tehran for a meeting with Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani, according to the Iranian news outlet IRNA.

According to a recent report from the Institute for the Study of War, the purpose of the visit is likely to discuss a possible deal for Iran to supply ballistic missiles to Russia.

The SNSC likely announced Patrushev’s arrival in Iran to highlight the deepening cooperation between Moscow and Tehran to an international audience (rather than domestically), as well as to implicitly highlight that a high-ranking Russian official turned to Iran for help in Ukraine.
