European officials expect Iran to imminently deliver hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia, a development that could provoke a swift response from Ukraine's allies. Reports suggest that shipments may begin within days, although details on the type and number of missiles are not specified. This move marks a significant advancement in Russian-Iranian defense cooperation amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. US and NATO have repeatedly warned Tehran against such shipments. Iran's Foreign Minister, however, has denied any knowledge of such plans when questioned by the EU Foreign Policy Chief.
