Iran has admitted to sending ballistic missiles to Russia in exchange for soybeans and wheat. Iranian MP Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani reportedly confirmed media reports about the Tehran-Moscow deal on September 7, as per a report by Didban Iran. Iran’s “barter” arrangement with Russia could be due to Western sanctions that limit its access to hard currencies, forcing it to exchange goods for food and fuel, say experts. This came despite an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson saying Iran “has never been part of the Russia-Ukraine conflict”. US intelligence officials have also confirmed that Iran has sent 200 short-range ballistic missiles to Russia and the “missiles have finally been delivered”.
