The information regarding Iran's supply of missiles to the Russians is currently unconfirmed.

"No. As of now, such information is not confirmed," Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, told ISLND TV in an interview when asked whether Iran delivers missiles to the Russian Federation.

According to him, the Russian Federation is the number-one country smuggling military technology.

"That is, of course, considering that they have a large border, and there are many companies, people, and organizations around the world that are ready to make money from it, then yes, it is actively practiced. But nevertheless, it does not meet the needs of the aggressor state at all. Including grey schemes. As for direct military support, there are actually very few countries that are fully ready to implement it," Yusov said.

The military intelligence representative pointed to the supply of Shahed drones to the Russian Federation from Iran and stated that this was not all that Putin's Russia would like to get.

He said that the work on the sanctions policy regarding the Russian Federation was ongoing. "And Ukraine takes an extremely proactive position here. The Yermak-McFaul Group and many other things are being done," Yusov stressed.

As reported, ISW says that Russian forces currently use Shahed drones in Ukraine primarily as decoys so that high precision missiles have better chances of hitting their targets.
