Iran will acquire more Russian weaponry
Thursday, April 20, 2023
Significance
Sources close to the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said a photograph purporting to show one in the skies above Tehran had been faked. Iran has supplied unmanned aerial vehicles to Russia for use in Ukraine, along with artillery and tank rounds.
Impacts
- Tehran will strengthen its military capabilities, including missiles, despite improving political ties with the Arab states.
- The upgrade to Tehran’s military capabilities will likely see an increase in covert and overt action by Israel against Iran.
- Economic weakness and international sanctions will ultimately curtail Iran’s ability to develop its military forces.
