Iranian media outlets are reporting that Russia has transferred Iskander missile systems to Iran, with claims that the delivery took place today.

According to the reports, the Iskander is a short-range ballistic missile system capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads. Its reported arrival in Iran is being described by Iranian media as a significant enhancement of Iran’s military capabilities, particularly in terms of precision strike and deterrence.

The reports, which have not yet been independently confirmed, are already triggering serious concern among regional and international observers due to the system’s advanced maneuverability, difficulty to intercept, and potential impact on the strategic balance in the Middle East.
