Leaked Documents Reveal Iran's Secret €500M Missile Deal with Russia
•Iran secretly signed a €500 million arms deal with Russia for thousands of advanced shoulder-fired missiles, according to leaked documents seen by the Financial Times.
•The agreement, signed in Moscow in December, commits Russia to deliver 500 'Verba' launch units and 2,500 '9M336' missiles over three years.
•Deliveries are scheduled in three tranches from 2027 through 2029, negotiated between Rosoboronexport and Iran's MODAFL.
•Tehran formally requested the systems last July, following U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear sites in June last year.
•Russia and Iran share a strategic partnership, with recent joint naval maneuvers in the Gulf of Oman.
