There are rumors of a missile deal between Iran and Russia.
Washington: America and its allies on Friday issued a stern warning to Iran regarding a possible missile deal with Russia. The countries have said Iran faces new economic sanctions if it goes ahead with its plan to provide ballistic missiles to Russia for a war with Ukraine. The Biden administration has been raising concerns for months that Russia is seeking short-range ballistic missiles from Iran as Moscow struggles to replenish its dwindling military equipment supplies.
Iran Air may also be banned
America has not yet confirmed that these missiles have been provided to Russia by Iran. But US officials are concerned about comments from Iranian officials that suggest the deal is destined to be over ballistic missiles. According to a senior Biden administration official, G-7 group member countries are considering banning Iran’s state-owned airline Iran Air from flying to Europe. Let us tell you that America and other western countries have already imposed many sanctions on Iran.
Iran had provided military drones to Russia
Before this, Iran will start joint naval exercises with Russia and China in the southern part of the Indian Ocean. Let us tell you that Iran has increased its military cooperation with China and Russia in response to regional tensions with America. It had also previously provided military drones to Russia, which plans to launch a military invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In recent years, visits by naval representatives of Russia and China to Iran have also increased. In such a situation, if the missile deal between Iran and Russia goes ahead, there is every possibility of increase in tension.
