Iran's Missile Delivery to Russia: Launchers Missing, Diplomacy Possible

Iran did not supply mobile launchers with the Fath-360 ballistic missiles it delivered to Russia, raising questions about the missiles' operational status. Experts suggest this might be an opportunity for diplomatic negotiations. Iran and Russia deny missile and drone transfers, while Western countries impose new sanctions.

Iran's delivery of Fath-360 ballistic missiles to Russia has come under scrutiny as the package did not include mobile launchers, three informed sources revealed. This omission raises questions about the missiles' operational capabilities.

The sources, comprising a European diplomat, a European intelligence official, and a U.S. official, underscored the uncertainty surrounding Iran's decision not to provide the launchers. They speculated it could pave the way for new diplomatic negotiations. Furthermore, despite Iran's and Moscow's denials of missile transfers, the U.S. and its allies have ramped up sanctions on Iran.

According to experts, Russia may modify its vehicles to deploy the missiles, similar to Iran's practices. Recent sanctions and geopolitical tensions add layers of complexity to this unfolding situation, with Western powers watching closely.
