Russian President Vladimir Putin says Moscow has not supplied weapons to Iran and that Tehran never asked for them. Yet new reports claim Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps could soon receive 12 Russian Su-30SM2 fighter jets, raising fresh questions about military ties between the two countries. Analysts believe the aircraft may be destined for the IRGC rather than Iran’s regular air force, marking a major upgrade from its aging fleet. As U.S.-Iran tensions remain high, reports of advanced Russian warplanes heading to Tehran are drawing renewed global attention.
