Russia deepens military cooperation with Iran. New arms shipment

Moscow has agreed to sell Iran 90 advanced missile launchers, as reported by the Financial Times. This deal indicates continued military support from Russia to Tehran despite its own military needs. The launchers are designed for multi-purpose guided missiles, which have been used by Russian forces in Ukraine. The transaction highlights the strengthening military cooperation between Moscow and Tehran, particularly since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Western intelligence suggests that military ties have intensified amid ongoing Middle Eastern conflicts. Experts note that while Russian support enhances Iran's operational capabilities, it is not likely to significantly alter the course of the conflict.
