There are allegations that Iran has sent hundreds of short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, which is at war with Ukraine.


According to The Wall Street Journal, European officials said on the 5th (local time) that the United States informed its allies by briefing European ambassadors in Washington DC the previous day about Iran's missile shipment.


Western officials reported that the shipment included hundreds of short-range ballistic missiles.


This disregards Western warnings not to supply ballistic missiles to Russia, which is at war with Ukraine, and the United States and others are discussing countermeasures.


A spokesperson for the White House National Security Council (NSC) said they are vigilant about the strengthening security cooperation between Russia and Iran following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.


Earlier, major foreign media also reported that Iran was planning to deliver hundreds of short-range ballistic missiles to Russia.



Since Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Tehran in August 2022, Iran has been providing Russia with attack drones and shells.
