US intelligence suspects Iran of wanting to purchase weapons in Russia and China

The Iranian leadership is considering the possibility of acquiring a large consignment of weapons and military equipment from Russia or China, in particular fighters, tanks, anti-aircraft and coastal missile systems. This is stated in a report by the US Department of Defense Intelligence Agency (RUMO).

According to this report, next year Iran intends to try to acquire the C-400 anti-aircraft missile system, the Bastion coastal missile system, as well as Russian or Chinese fighters and tanks in Russia next year. The RUMO states that Iran cannot independently produce this equipment.

US intelligence claims that Iran is already holding consultations on the acquisition of weapons with both countries.

The supplier is considered mainly Russia, China - to a lesser extent. Iran may purchase Su-30 fighters, Yak-130 training aircraft and T-90 tanks from the Russian Federation. In addition, Tehran was interested in purchasing C-400 and Bastion complexes from Russia

- the report says.

According to the RUMO, the imposed US sanctions against Iran could lead to the fact that the latter may face a shortage of funds for the acquisition of these weapons and the development of their own.

Recall that Iran has a five-year arms embargo imposed by the UN Security Council on 20 July 2015 and an eight-year ban on the supply of ballistic missiles. Washington advocates the extension of both bans.

Not in the eyebrow, but in the eye! Are they working with sorcerers there, but guessing on the coffee grounds?

[Siberia 75]

In general, the combination, Bastion-S 400- Su 30, could finally repel the desire for direct aggression against Iran.

[Same lech]

Washington advocates the extension of both bans.

In no case to extend ... Iran should have the technical capabilities to protect its sky from aggression from the United States and Israel.

[mig29mks]

Russia also suspects the United States of filth and dirty tricks around the world !!!

[Livonetc]

Vashpe and kurutia are lucky.
And who is Iran to buy weapons from?
Do u have?

[bessmertniy]

The United States crossed itself out of Iran’s suppliers. They can continue to thrust their sanctions.

Iran has a mission to destroy Israel, China and the Russian Federation should help in every possible way.

[Same lech]

Iran has a mission to destroy Israel

This is the mission of the United States and its ally, Israel, to destroy Iran ... for this they have all means good ... lies, sabotage, fraud and direct aggression.

[svp67]

Recall that a five-year arms embargo imposed on Iran by the UN Security Council on 20 of July 2015 of the UN Security Council is in force for Iran

Lord, what a GREAT reason to "shake the nerves of the United States" ... I would be very upset if our diplomats and politicians fail to take advantage of it, it's time to put Russia's interests at the forefront.

That's right. Given the clearly hostile steps on the part of the United States, Canada and other NATO countries towards Russia, in terms of the supply of lethal weapons to Ukraine, why not Russia answer the same? !!!

[Flooding]

Another subject of conversation between Putin and Netanyahu.
I hope such an argument will allow Israel to reason.

[Altai72]

For about 10 days, Iran has been sausage. About 300 dead, more than 1000 wounded. Several banks, administrative buildings and barracks of the IRGC were burned, half of the dead were security forces. All cities have strikes. I wonder why in VO this topic is not consecrated.

[YOUR]

Maybe because for us such a topic is also relevant. Higher fuel prices.

[NEOZ]

Yes, I suspect Iran of wanting to buy weapons in the Russian Federation and / or China ...

[7,62x54]

And what about the desire of Russia to sell weapons to Iran?

[knn54]

The agreement with Israel will not violate the Russian Federation.

[Zaurbek]

And how the United States imposed bans? They quarreled with both China and the Russian Federation .... thanks to their limitations, they began to create alternative payment systems ... Another thing is that Iran has no money. And systems like C400 and Su30 are expensive.

[demo]

Iran has oil. The whole question is how to ship it to the Russian Federation.
That is enough.

[Zaurbek]

Oil is getting smaller ... but needs are not decreasing

[K-50]

And what is crime? The country itself decides whether it needs it or not. Or because of that the screech was raised that they would not buy weapons from pin dosniks?

[Zaurbek]

The following year, UN restrictions on the sale of serious weapons to Iran end. Although the C400, like the C300, never got there. There are some agreements with Israel.

[Kosh]

The current restrictions do not apply to air defense systems, so Iran already bought the S-300PMU-2 in 2015 and received it the next year.

[strannik1985]

There are 4 S-300PMU-2 divisions in Iran. But the delivery was delayed, in due time. And before that, in the 90s, Iran was driven in full. EMNIP we have only direct losses in the region of 4 billion dollars.

[Thrifty]

It is necessary to annul the unilateral embargo, and calmly sell our equipment to the Persians, and weapons. ..

[rocket757]

Shaw for br - e - d? And where else do they buy weapons then?

He looked at the line for the S-400, and decided that it was urgent to build another plant.

[Zaurbek]

Under C400, a new factory was built ...

UN arms embargo on Iran ends in July next year

[Kosh]

It ends on October 18, 2020. According to Resolution 2231, five years there are counted not from the moment of signing the JCPOA and the adoption of the resolution itself, but from the specially established so-called "Day of Adoption", which came 90 days after the adoption of the resolution.

[Operator]

May it be October

[Babermetis]

I suspect that Iran is not expected to buy, but only to borrow, against receipt and not repay debts.

[Chaldon48]

In my opinion, even children know that Iran can buy weapons only from Russia and China, and what does intelligence have to do with this, there’s nothing more to do to American intelligence. Interestingly, she already found out what is the name of the capital of Iran?

[Incvizitor]

Israel, in the FSA, is procuring why, then, Iran should not be bought from the Russian Federation and China?

[Berkut24]

Where is Iran with Russia and where is the USA ... What is their dog business?

[Ironcity]

I think that the Russian Federation has every chance of getting ahead of China in this race, the Ketays are greedy, they will want to sell for money, but there is no smell of money there now, this is a contract, anyway ours. Calculated "after rain on Thursday". Well, the Prigozhin specialists should be sent to protect the legally elected Ayothallas from the brutal orange plague.

[Saboteur Holuy]

No, we need to develop relations with Israel! We have big problems with microelectronics, avionics ... Iran and I are not on the way ...

[rusich]

If you want to buy in Russia and China, let them buy. S-400 is defensive, UN sanctions do not apply. Or ov supply disruptions diapers

[Politruk-m]

Iran needs to help create an effective air defense system, otherwise Israel and the United States are gagging them

[vladcub]

"suspect Iran of wanting to buy weapons from Russia and China" if we discard all anti-American rhetoric and so on.
American intelligence "America was discovered": Iran is already a "grown-up boy" does not need instructions from other people's uncles. Naturally, if Iran is not capable of producing weapons, then it will try to buy it, but here I’m sorry, and it’s a no brainer that at the moment Iran has a "big" choice: Russia or China. All this can be calculated purely logically.
The arms market is big there, as in every market there are large manufacturers, smaller ones. The Iranians are serious guys: they want to buy reliable means for their money, and from whom you can buy modern means: the USA, England, Russia and China, possibly another 1-2 "merchants. Even if you do not take the S-400, but for other items weapons, the choice is not very large.
Tried to take a "piece" of bread from CIA analysts

[VyacheSeymour]

Russia, which is under all imaginary sanctions, is least worth bothering to sell-not selling ... Bothering is only one thing - the sale of what type of weapons corresponds (does not harm) its interests in this region.

"Suspicion" is one of the stages of work. And only after working on the data can we say whether the suspicion has been confirmed or not. In this case, we are talking about "suspicion", since no one will sell military equipment to Iran until the beginning of 2021 (missiles until 2024). More precisely, the deadline is October 18, 2020 and October 18, 2023
