Russia received hundreds of drones from Iran that can use in Ukraine - AP

Video of the day, according to the agency, such information appeared amid negotiations on the renewal of a nuclear agreement with Iran since 2015, from which the United States left in 2018. Opponents of negotiations say that the abolition of sanctions against Iran, which will result in the return to the agreement, can allow Russia to strengthen hostilities in Ukraine and bypass sanctions by exporting oil and other energy through Tehran.

Columnist The Washington Post David Ignatius writes that Russia probably got Shahd drones from Iran. He emphasizes that the agreement with Tehran "is a sign of how serious problems with weapons have Moscow" after six months of a full -scale war. According to intelligence representatives, the aggressor country does not trust Iranian leaders and consistently opposes the country's nuclear ambitions, so she did not want to contact Iran at first, but she has no choice.

A representative of Western intelligence warned that Iran can help Russia bypass sanctions using its network of false companies and other financial institutions, "becoming a key channel for the supply of weapons and money", writes Kolumnist WP. Earlier, CNN reported that the Russian military started working with Iranian shock drones of Shahd-191 and Shahd-129 and were trained in Iran for several weeks.

The American Institute for the Study of the War in August 2 reported that Iran could send the first batch of drones to Russia for "field trials" and could count on the receipt of Russian military aircraft Su-35. Researchers have referred to the American Osint Accuunt on Twitter, which cited anonymous Iranian sources. The US President Assistant Jake Sullivan said Iran plans to transfer Russia to several hundred drones, including weapons, in an accelerated order.
