European and U.S. officials have confirmed that Iran has sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia. The delivery, which includes hundreds of missiles, is expected to bolster Russia's military capabilities in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine. This move follows stern warnings from Western countries, including the U.S. and EU, against such transfers. The missiles, believed to be Fath-360s, could be used to target Ukrainian civilian and military infrastructure. The U.S. and its allies are reportedly working on a sanctions response to Iran's actions. The Wall Street Journal reported that the shipments could begin within days and may include 200 missiles.
