Iran is preparing to send approximately 1,000 additional weapons, including surface-to-surface short range ballistic missiles and more attack drones, to Russia to use in its war against Ukraine, officials from a western country that closely monitors Iran’s weapons program told CNN.
The shipment is being closely monitored because it would be the first instance of Iran sending advanced precision guided missiles to Russia, which could give the Kremlin a substantial boost on the battlefield.
The last shipment of weapons from Iran to Russia included about 450 drones, officials said, which the Russians have already used to deadly effect in Ukraine. Ukrainian officials said last week that they have shot down more than 300 Iranian drones.
This new expected shipment would mark a significant increase in Iranian support to Russia’s war effort. While the precise timing of when the shipment will arrive in Russia is unclear, officials believe the weapons will definitely be delivered before the end of the year.

The US is going to bomb Iran with pallets of Swiss francs.
Realistically, why wouldn’t they?
Paid for with pallets of Obama cash.
Good, good. Drain Iran’s arsenal as well as Russia’s. Then drain Syria’s. Should leave them in a great position to deal with their internal unrest and external enemies :)
How will Russia pay for these weapons?
With the blueprints for a thermonuclear device.
And by selling crude oil that we no longer produce because of Brandon.
Hopefully they can take out some HIMARS, Brit advisors, CIA, short Ukrainians and other undesirable elements.
A CNN source...REALLY? Could it be that it is just the left trying to instigate WWIII?
So, Iran, N Korea, and I believe China, are donating weapons and possibly personnel to Russia. The US and several other countries are helping Ukraine in the same way.
This is WW III. Who can’t see this?
Just as Uke is depending on the west, in much greater amounts
looks like Russia is deliberately escalating the situation (again)
but, that’s what warmongers do, right?
Russia just can’t stop attacking and killing
The amount of gall it takes for Americans to complain about countries sending weapons to other countries is truly “exceptional”, something we like to boast about, as the world’s leading weapons merchant.
It’s becoming clear the most notable thing about US weapons is they are, of course, extremely expensive.
Just become a full fledged Communist already
At least you refer to Americans in the third person, no longer pretending to be one.
When you find yourself cheering for the Mullahs, decency requires hanging it up and just admitting you’re with the Red crowd now.
Why do you want the Russians to kill Americans?
Ah, the old fallback.
I reject and condemn the idea that being against the latest, in a long string of many, foreign policy disasters in Ukraine is “anti-American”. Quite the contrary.
You stake this claim to an imaginary high road without being able to point to a single intervention of this sort that has led to anything other than a fantastic humanitarian disaster.
What I think is happening with this repetitive wacky mantra on FR is that you people are so old you imagine you are living in old black and white movies where Americans are always the “good guys”. You’ve missed *everything* since the Marshall Plan, all of it, while slumped over in front of “Fox and Friends”, lashing out.
Toothless, misguided, wheelchair warriors who simply do not know right from wrong and never will. The world is turning it’s back on the US because of people like you, a failed human.
And North Korea.
Also, before anyone comes in here with "Russia is only in bed with Iran because we forced them!", Russia was taking Iran's side in the nuke deal long before the Ukraine war.
Absolutely true. Same goals, same general worldview, same enemies -- including us. Which has been true for a very long time.
