Cargo planes don’t lie. Belarusian Il-76 aircraft continue to land in Tehran, quietly unloading Russian and Chinese weapons, crowd-control systems, surveillance tools, and security equipment for the Islamic Republic’s internal forces. These flights are not routine. They are not symbolic. They are deliberate, repeated, and coordinated. And they are not defensive.

To keep it from falling apart.
ooooor; to secure all the nuclear material that they’ve given to Iran before ISIS or some other not so friendly to Russia factions gets hold of it.

You are missing some important pieces in understanding it all

Interesting, Foreigners can initiate threads from Foreign "journalists" Blogs in News Activism rather than Bloggers & Personal or General/Chat.
To create instability within the populace after the Mullahs and their disciples are gone.
meh...it’s possible they’ll be used by the new provisional goverment too.
Russia and Iran are allies, and say what one will, Russia backs her allies. Russia also demands payment in cash.
Putin is selling all he has to sell to raise cash. His bankrupt nation desperately needs cash to continue losing the war with Ukraine.
REGIME CHANGE IRAN!
Come on man. We did it in Afghanistan.
Money.
Good point! There’s a lot of fissionable material in I-ran.
Either for a proper nuke or for dirty bomb terrorism.
Can the Paid Ukrainian Posters decide on a name and style for the AI generated “stories” ? USA -France sounds exactly like Fake UMC Mom - Speedy - Timer Rat et al. Most FR readers have figured out all of these posts are being generated in the same bunker - try to sound original once in a while...
“Can paid Russian posters continue to rationalize and give excuses to the Iranian regime and its anti-Israel and anti American behavior?”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Can’t you be more cheerful? Today we live a wonderful day for America!
Today is a day to celebrate! Trump has arrested Putins closest ally in South America, the drug-lord Maduro of Venezuela! Yeeehaaaaa!
You seem to be very saddened about all these excellent news...
One day you people will understand how RIGHT Trump was in doing this.
He is saving America, but you don’t want to give him credit for it. Sad.
Please join me in supporting Trump’s Pro-America and anti-Russia policies!
It’s never too late !
Good piece. Thanks for posting.
Why? Hard to analyze a madman like Putin. The writer knows more than I do.
But I know it isn’t altruism, lol.
Correction / oops I quoted my own sentence :)
So....you are saying the Times of Israel is a fake account and is AI generated.
The article also says this :
“This tactic is not new. Iranians have seen cargo planes before—most infamously in 2016, when the Obama administration secretly airlifted pallets of cash, hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign currency, to Tehran. That flight was justified as “diplomacy”. In reality, it was a lifeline thrown to a regime already drowning in illegitimacy. The money did not “moderate” the Islamic Republic. It did not empower civil society. It did not buy peace.
It bought time—time to execute, imprison, and terrorize inside Iran and abroad.”
Is that why you criticize the article?
Obama actually did that. And it must be denounced.
Sad you are not more supportive of Freepers denouncing ugly things the Obama administration has done...
No, the Blog says that.
Is that why you criticize the article?
You do not get to interrogate me on a false premise you propose.
I did not criticize the blog, I simply pointed out it WAS a blog, not a news article.
Sad you are not more supportive of Freepers denouncing ugly things...
Continuing your misdirection, you then read the blog to me so you can then demand support of Foreign Extremists by conflating them with FReepers.
No.
