Iran's leader Ali Khamenei sent a message to Vladimir Putin asking Moscow to supply S-400 systems. According to the "Telegraph", Tehran persistently demands from Moscow to implement the contract for the supply of S-400 air defense systems, while dialogue on this issue has already started. According to the newspaper, the head of Iran's intelligence service, Mohsen Razai, gave Vladimir Putin a message from the supreme religious authority, Mujtaba Khamenei, which contained a request for the transfer of these weapons. Tehran's main goal is to recreate the national air defense system, which has been damaged as a result of attacks by the United States and Israel. However, the paper stresses that Russia may exercise caution: Moscow's own military needs, caused by the conflict in Ukraine, could become a supply bottleneck.
