The Tactics Institute for Security and Counter-Terrorism expresses its grave concern over recent reports that Iran has supplied Russia with short-range ballistic missiles. We call upon the Iranian government to cease its missile transfers immediately. It is a critical threat posed to regional and global security. This action only serves to escalate the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and deepen instability in an already volatile Middle Eastern region.
Reports from European and U.S. officials, corroborated by sources reveal that Iran has provided Russia with ballistic missiles in exchange for commodities such as soybeans and wheat. The transfer of these advanced weapons systems not only strengthens Russia’s aggression in Ukraine but also heightens Iran’s ballistic capabilities in the Middle East. It further destabilises an already fragile situation.
The deepening military cooperation between Tehran and Moscow, especially following the confirmed transfer of military drones and now ballistic missiles, exacerbates tensions across multiple regions. The conflict in Ukraine already endangers European security, and Iran’s actions risk triggering wider instability, particularly in the Middle East, where Iran’s missile program remains the largest and most dangerous.
The Tactics Institute strongly condemns Iran’s involvement in supplying weapons to Russia, a clear violation of international law. We demand that Iran immediately halt all military aid to Russia, adhere to international laws, and prioritize diplomatic engagement over militaristic ambitions. Additionally, Russia’s increasing reliance on Iranian military support reveals the dangerous convergence of authoritarian regimes that threatens peace across borders.
The Tactics Institute urgently calls on the Iranian government to cease the transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia. We urge the international community to respond decisively to this escalating threat. The global community cannot stand by while the actions of Iran and Russia jeopardize both regional and international security.
