ISW: Russia and Iran in talks over supplies of ballistic missiles set to come out from under sanctions in October
In its latest assessment of the war in Ukraine, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that Tehran and Moscow are in talks over new shipments of Iranian drones as well as Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar ballistic missiles to Russia.
Drones, missiles, and air defense system components were shown to Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu during his visit to Iran in mid-September.
The ISW noted that on October 18, the U.N. Security Council’s ban on Iran legally exporting missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers is set to expire, which would allow Iran to sell Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar missiles to Russia.
