The U.S. has informed allies that Iran has transferred short-range ballistic missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine. Two people familiar with the matter confirmed the U.S. intelligence finding but provided no details on the number of missiles or timing of the transfer.
The White House declined to confirm the weapons transfer but reiterated concern over Iran’s growing support for Russia. The U.S. has been warning Iran for months not to transfer ballistic missiles to Russia. National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett stated that the transfer would escalate Iran's involvement in Russia’s war and increase civilian deaths in Ukraine.
The U.S. views this transfer as a threat to European security and a sign of Iran’s destabilizing influence globally. The transfer of ballistic missiles would represent a dramatic escalation of Iranian support for Russia. The missile transfer comes as Ukraine conducts a surprise offensive, capturing about 500 square miles (1,300 square kilometers) of Russia's Kursk region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is urging allies to allow the use of Western-supplied missiles to strike deeper inside Russia. Ukraine wants to use these missiles to target Russian sites from where Moscow launches attacks on Ukraine. The partnership between Iran and Russia has implications beyond Ukraine, extending Iran's destabilizing influence beyond the Middle East.
There is no confirmed timeline for when the missile transfers occurred. The U.S. warns that Iranian missile transfers could lead to increased civilian casualties in Ukraine. Iran's provision of ballistic missiles marks a significant form of military support for Russia's efforts in Ukraine. The matter has not been publicly disclosed, and the sources providing information did so under the condition of anonymity.
