Iran Sent Short-Range Missiles to Russia, Western Officials Say​

U.S. and European countries had warned of sanctions if Iran provided weapons that could be used against Ukraine. President Biden’s lame-duck status could hamper a response.

Iran has sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, according to U.S. and European officials, despite sharp warnings from Washington and its allies not to provide those armaments to Moscow to use against targets in Ukraine.
The new missiles are expected to help Russia further its efforts to destroy Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure, which President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said this week now involved 4,000 bombs a month across the country.
The U.S. and European officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, confirmed that after months of warnings about sanctions, Iran has shipped several hundred short-range ballistic missiles to Russia. The delivery was reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Iran denied providing the weapons in a statement released Friday by its permanent mission to the United Nations, saying its position on the war was unchanged. “Iran considers the provision of military assistance to the parties engaged in the conflict — which leads to increased human casualties, destruction of infrastructure, and a distancing from cease-fire negotiations — to be inhumane,” the statement said. “Thus, not only does Iran abstain from engaging in such actions itself, but it also calls upon other countries to cease the supply of weapons to the sides involved in the conflict.”
The Group of 7 nations warned in March that they would impose coordinated sanctions on Iran if it carried out the missile transfer, a warning repeated at a NATO summit meeting in Washington in July.
In a statement on Saturday, Sean Savett, a spokesman for the National Security Council, declined to confirm the missile transfers explicitly but hinted at growing cooperation between Tehran and Moscow.




Commentary:
We shall now see a full court press by the Democrats defending this practice. They will demonstrate they are the allies of Putin and anything to retaliate against Trump.
It’s good to remember Iran is the creator and distributor of IED’s, missiles and drones to Russia to use on the Ukraine.
I’d be happier if Tehran looked like the post-WWII pictures of Nagasaki.
Russia and China are losing friends and allies all over the place globally.
With the Ayatollah gone Putin and Xi and in a bind.
They are dying societies below replacement demographically.
Their economies are in the tank.
Their military hardware is absolute garbage.
Even their own populations are giving up on life inside of those hell holes.
The Chinese youth even have a phrase called “tang ping” (躺平) - which means “lay down”, and that is their attitude for life and effort for China.
Same in Russia I imagine.
Eventually, both nations will be strangled economically.
The availability and price of oil just increased proportionally with the loss of Iran for China.
That must make Democrats and a lot of foreign so called belligerents uneasy and angry.

yeah, with regard to China and Iran supplying them oil.

That just ended so China does come into play. Russia is far to tied up in Ukraine for them to worry about Iran, though they too will get hit hard without the oil.

And then that begs the question about this strike in Iran.

How badly will it weaken Russia regarding the war? Will it hit them hard enough to cause a collapse?

These are nation-killer questions. Yet, Russia cannot look away from Ukraine.

Does anyone else think that some of his advisors put a bug in his ear about that kind of pressure to get Putin to a ceasefire.

There may be wheels withing wheels.

Yep this move definatly hurts Russia's war efforts yet the moronic Left on this site still spout that Trump is a puppet of Putin. The evil axis countries are being weakened by Trump. First it was Venezuela, now Iran. Just think if Kamala had been elected... the border still wide open.. those 1,500 illegal Iranians inside the U.S. would not be deported and even more coming in.. we would still be bartering with Iran out of weakness... they would still have their nuclear program intact.. and still funding HAMAS in Gaza. Harris would have opposed Israels actions against Hamas and Iran would be doing business in South America..

Yet the Trump haters here say.. NOTHING HAS CHANGED...
