Quick Glance: US and G-7 Partners Warn Iran Over Potential Missile Supply to Russia
- The United States and its allies cautioned Iran on Friday about the possibility of facing new sanctions if it indeed plans to support Russia with ballistic missiles for the war against Ukraine.
- For months, the Biden administration has been sounding the alarm as Russia attempts to acquire ballistic missiles from Iran while Moscow struggles to replenish its diminishing stockpile.
- As of now, the US government has not verified the transfer of missiles from Iran to Russia. Nevertheless, American officials express concern over statements made by Iranian authorities hinting at an imminent deal.
- In January, the Democratic administration stated that although US intelligence officials had not confirmed the completion of a Russian-Iranian deal, they were worried about the active progress of Russia's negotiations to obtain missiles from Iran.
