Iran has been accused of supplying short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, enhancing Moscow's capability to conduct precision strikes against Ukrainian military and civilian targets near the front lines. According to UK Defence Intelligence, the Iranian missiles will allow Russia to preserve its existing weaponry for attacks deeper into Ukraine. The missiles, including the Fath-360, are expected to be used to decimate cities in Southern and Eastern Ukraine, while more powerful North Korean and Russian variants focus on larger cities like Kyiv. The missiles were reportedly delivered via a now-sanctioned ship and are capable of reaching European soil. This development has led to international condemnation, with Ukraine's Western allies asserting that Russia's actions violate international law.
