Moscow and Tehran are preparing to conclude a new agreement on the supply of drones and ballistic missiles. Since after October 18, the embargo on the export of missile technology, which was imposed on Iran by a UN Security Council resolution, expires.

That is, Tehran will have the right to export missiles and related technologies without international control. This means that Russia could receive such missiles from Iran. Russian oppositionist, blogger and lawyer Mark Feigin assessedChannel 24this possibility and suggested what China’s role is in this game.

What could force Iran to transfer missiles to Russia

“I think the transfer of ballistic missiles to Iran does not depend at all on the restrictions that are imposed on it. Of course, they do not seek to increase sanctions, so as not to create even greater problems in the economy,” said the Russian oppositionist.

According to him, if Russia offers nuclear technology or materials for laboratory research, then Iran will give up any missiles.

Therefore, no restrictions affect Iran. It is a rogue country and also a sponsor of terrorism. Iran ranks second after Russia in terms of the number of sanctions imposed, Feigin emphasized.

He noted that Moscow is afraid to take a decisive step to transfer nuclear technology to Tehran. After all, this then threatens Russia itself.

What is China’s role in this game

As Feigin admitted, China will take a neutral position in this game. Beijing will not contribute to either Moscow or Tehran. In order not to be held responsible for actions that Iran may take.

Although China, let me remind you, acted as a mediator between Iran and Saudi Arabia. After all, a peace treaty was concluded. Although it is unknown whether he will continue to work, noted Mark Feygin.

In the end, there is a great temptation here – through Iran to influence the United States and Israel and at the same time help Moscow with ballistic missiles, of which Tehran has plenty.< /p>

However, on March 10, 2023, Saudi Arabia and Iran announced an agreement to resume relations in a joint statement signed by both countries and China and published by the state media of Saudi Arabia and Iran.

The agreement was the result of an initiative initiated by Chinese President Xi Jinping negotiations in Beijing aimed at “developing good neighborly relations” between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
