NATO: We Have No Reason to Believe Iran Will Not Transfer Ballistic Missiles to Russia

A NATO official stated today, Thursday, that "the alliance has not received any confirmations that Iran has transferred ballistic missiles to Russia, but it has no reason to believe that it will not proceed with the transfer once the two parties agree on mutually beneficial terms." He clarified that "Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries may have disrupted more than 15 percent of their capacity," adding that the alliance believes Moscow still lacks sufficient ammunition and personnel to carry out a successful attack. The official further noted that "the alliance expects coordinated Russian efforts to use drones and missiles to weaken Ukrainian air defense capabilities."
