Russia and Iran are set to sign a major strategic military deal in Moscow following the BRICS summit. This deal includes advanced weaponry such as fighter jets and missile systems, which could significantly enhance Iran's military capabilities. Reports indicate that Iran has already received the 'Silent Hunter' laser anti-drone system from China, as well as S-400 systems and Su-35 fighters from Russia. This move is seen as a response to ongoing tensions with Israel, with Russia considering providing additional advanced weapons, including modern anti-ship missiles and advanced air defenses to Iran and its regional militia allies.
