Russia has offered Iran ‘unprecedented defense cooperation, including in the field of missiles, electronics and air defense’
Iran is seeking sophisticated new air defense systems from Russia that Israeli officials say would reduce the window of a potential attack on Tehran’s nuclear program, media reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the issue.
Israeli and American sources told Bloomberg News that the prospect of Tehran obtaining these S-400 systems would speed up the decision on a possible attack on Iranian nuclear sites. Russia has not said publicly whether it will supply the weapons, but Moscow and Tehran have grown closer since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
