In a shocking development, Iran has reportedly sent hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia, which could significantly escalate the conflict in Ukraine.
According to sources, the missiles, which include Fateh-110 and Zolfaghari models, were transferred to Russia in recent weeks. The move is seen as a major escalation in the conflict, which has already claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions.
"The transfer of these missiles from Iran to Russia is a dramatic escalation of the situation," said a senior NATO official. "It poses a significant threat to European security and stability."
Russia has been accused of launching a series of attacks on Ukrainian cities, including airstrikes and missile strikes, since the conflict began in February. The attacks have killed hundreds of civilians and damaged critical infrastructure.
The International Committee of the Red Cross has warned that the situation in Ukraine is "descending into chaos" and called for an immediate ceasefire.
The United States and other Western powers have imposed a series of sanctions on Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine. The new sanctions are expected to include restrictions on Russia’s oil and gas sector.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, has called on the international community to take immediate action to stop Russia’s aggression. "We are facing a war of aggression, a war of occupation, a war of destruction," he said in a statement.
