Russia intends to purchase short-range ballistic missiles from Iran, which will increase Moscow’s ability to target Ukraine’s infrastructure, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing American officials, Reuters and Agerpres reported.
In 2023, the White House said there were signs that Russia and Iran were expanding their unprecedented defense partnership, thus helping Moscow continue its war in Ukraine while posing a threat to Iran’s neighbors.
The Kremlin said last November that Russia and Iran were developing relations, “particularly in the field of military-technical cooperation,” but declined to comment on White House allegations that Tehran may consider supplying Russia with ballistic missiles.
In recent weeks, Moscow also began receiving ballistic missiles from North Korea, the WSJ also writes.
