Russia and Iran are currently in talks over a $10 billion military deal which would include the transfer of advanced weapons and hardware to Iran, the JNS reported. Viktor Ozerov, the head of the defense and security committee of Russia’s upper house of parliament, told reporters on Monday that “these negotiations are being carried out; the road has been paved.”
According to Ozerov, the $10 billion military package to Iran would include Russian T-90 tanks, artillery systems, and various aircraft.

Russia would have to receive approval from the UN Security Council to transfer any systems to Iran before then. READ MORE
