The EU is threatening swift action in response to reports of Iran supplying ballistic missiles to Russia, while the Kremlin highlights its close ties with Tehran.
The European Union on September 9 described as 'credible' information provided by allies suggesting Iran has supplied short-range ballistic missiles to Russia to help Moscow wage war in Ukraine and hinted at a 'swift' response. The statement came after the Kremlin declined to directly refute the accusation and instead highlighted its cooperation with Tehran in 'the most sensitive areas.
'It is not every time that this kind of information is true,' Peskov said. 'Iran is our important partner, we are developing our trade and economic relations, we are developing our cooperation and dialogue in all possible areas, including the most sensitive areas.'The Wall Street Journal on September 6 reported that Iran had shipped short-range missiles to Russia, the latest of persistent reports of supplies of sensitive weaponry.
