According to Sky News, Russia could have secretly obtained about 100 million balloons and 300,000 shells from Iran. Allegedly, the aggressor country paid in cash to circumvent the sanctions. But such relations between Moscow and Tehran may continue.
This was stated in a commentary on Channel 24 by ex-KGB officer and Russian foreign intelligence service Sergey Zhirnov. According to him, the situation could be even worse . Like, the Russians will build a nuclear power plant in Iran at their own expense. At the same time, according to the Financial Times, Russia is afraid to buy ballistic missiles from Iran.
“The Russians can even transfer tactical nuclear weapons to the Iranians. And this is the biggest danger that Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United States are afraid of,” Zhirnov said.
Will Putin come to his senses
The ex-KGB officer is convinced that it is not necessary to wait for Vladimir Putin to come to his senses.
Putin is now generally “frostbitten”. Expect certain pragmatic decisions from him, that he will now come to his senses, that they will put pressure on him somewhere…,” said Zhirnov.
He noted that the Russian dictator is not under much pressure on this issue.
“China is pushing in a completely different direction. Because Xi Jinping is also in contact with Iran and is also very actively supporting it. Lukashenka either went to China or plans to go to Iran,” said the ex-KGB officer.
In his opinion, a certain axis is being built – Russia – Belarus – China – Iran. According to him, this does not mean anything good.

Domestic problems in countries
Sergei Zhirnov believes that the internal situation in Iran has now become very complicated.
“The people are against the Islamic representatives of the religion who seized power. Six months ago, about 1.5 thousand people were sentenced to death after protests in Iran,” he said.
The ex-employee of the KGB and the foreign intelligence service of Russia noted that in each of the countries under Vladimir Putin, there are serious internal problems. Particularly in China.
“In China, a very serious economic situation is unfavorable,” Zhirnov said.
He noted that China has problems after the coronavirus, as well as, in particular, with real estate and banks.
“Of course, there are resources much larger than those of Iran, but they also have problems,” Sergei Zhirnov said.
Will Russia and Iran cooperate?
He is convinced that cooperation between Russia and Iran will continue.
Putin is Iran's spare lap, and Iran is Putin's spare lap. “Outcast countries” found each other, – said the ex-employee of the KGB and the Russian foreign intelligence service.
