| Iran intends to provide Russia with short- and long-range missiles ‐ Mossad chief |
| 2023-09-12 |
| [GlobalEspresoTV] Tehran plans to supply short- and long-range missiles to Moscow in addition to Shahed-type “kamikaze” drones, which Russia is actively using in the war against Ukraine. Mossad Director David Barnea shared the information, the Times of Israel reports. According to Barnea, previous similar agreements to provide Russia with missiles were disrupted. Instead, Iran may receive from the Russians the weapons it needs to attack Israel. "Our fear is that the Russians will transfer to the Iranians in return what they lack, advanced weapons that will certainly endanger our peace and maybe even our existence here," Barnea said. COOPERATION BETWEEN IRAN AND RUSSIA Back in November 2022, the media reported that Russian terrorists and their partners from Iran had allegedly agreed to jointly produce drones for use in the war against Ukraine. Russian leader Vladimir Putin ordered the creation of a system for training specialists in the development and production of drones. In February 2023, the Western media again reported that Iran and Russia were holding secret talks on the construction of a plant for the production of “kamikaze” drones. At the time, Iran denied this information. On August 16, British intelligence indicated that Russia had apparently begun using drones of its own production. The Washington Post, citing internal documents between Iran and Russia, reported that the Shahed factory in the Alabuga Special Economic Zone in Tatarstan, Russia, plans to produce 6,000 “kamikaze” drones by 2025. And in late August, Defense Express reported that Russia plans to increase the production of Shahed drones by 100-180 per month. |

| #10 Sounds like nuclear science is not the field to go into then...too risky. Seems like it would be an easy thing just to flunk the physics test and then apply for work in a Persian rug factory. |

| #8 And given the way the "Biden" Administration is going, the US won't be able to refine its own crude oil, either. |

| #5 No, but fair enough. Some say the Iranians saved Erdoğan's hide when the US (cough, cough) tried to dump him during that coup attempt. |

| #3 ^^ Sounds like nuclear science is not the field to go into then...too risky. Iranian Urban Studies or Persian Women Playwrights of the 19th Century are much safer fields of study. |

| #2 ^Yea, too bad Iranian nuclear scientists have such a high death rate. Even worse, these Arians blame der Juden for it. |

| #1 Iran has been "attacking" Israel and have been "six months away from a nuclear weapon" since, what, 1982? |
