Iran Asks Russia to Hand Over S-400 Systems: What The Telegraph Reports
Published
The British newspaper The Telegraph reported that Mojtaba Khamenei has sent an envoy to Vladimir Putin. According to the paper, the Iranian side is demanding that Russia transfer S-400 surface-to-air missile systems to Iran.
According to the publication, the request is linked to the fact that Iran's air defense system was seriously damaged. Following this, Tehran is looking for ways to strengthen the protection of its airspace and is turning to Russia as a possible supplier of modern systems.
According to the paper, Moscow has for several years been dragging out the conclusion of an agreement to supply the S-400 to Iran. For this reason, the question of transferring these systems remains open, and no final decision has been made so far.
There is no official confirmation of this information yet. Readers should bear in mind that the data is so far based on a report from a single publication, and the situation may change in the future.
