Sky News, citing a knowledgeable security source, obtained a 16-page document indicating that Tehran has sold ammunition valued at approximately one million dollars to Moscow for the Ukraine conflict.
While Sky News cannot independently verify the authenticity of the document, their informed sources have reportedly confirmed the news based on 100 percent reliable and credible documents.
The content of the document, dated September 14, 2022, includes the sale of various types of ammunition, such as artillery and tank rounds, and missiles to Russia.
Additionally, alongside the 16-page document, there is a five-page text of a $740,000 contract related to ammunition such as T-72 tank rounds, Howitzer artillery cannon rounds, and mortars.
Sky News reports that the Russian and Iranian embassies in the UK have not responded to the news outlet’s request for comment on this matter.
Vadym Prystaiko, Ukraine’s Ambassador to the UK, had previously raised concerns about such activities in an interview with Sky News.
Ų§He also added that his country will take action once they are certain about the complete accuracy of this report.
According to Sky News, based on the investigations conducted, these incidents appear to be samples of products prior to further shipments.
Just a few weeks ago, , the Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council in the White House, announced an increase in military cooperation between Russia and Iran, stating that Moscow had purchased 400 suicide/kamikaze drones from Tehran to prolong the Ukraine war.
The UK Defense Ministry recently reported that Russia likely used at least 71 Iranian drones in the first quarter of this year during the war with Ukraine.
Less than two months ago, the G7 Foreign Ministers meeting in Japan issued a statement calling on Iran to cease military assistance to the Russian military in the war against Ukraine.
Tehran officials, while acknowledging the delivery of drones to Moscow, claimed that the Iranian drones were sent to Russia before February 2022, prior to Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, and before the prohibition of arms transfers to Russia by the UN Security Council. They stated that these drones were not intended for use in the Ukrainian conflict.
However, a closer look at the mentioned date in the recent document reveals that this Iran-Russia arms sales contract was signed months after the start of Moscow’s military aggression against Ukraine.
