He stated that Iran supplies Russia with missiles and drones in exchange for soybeans and wheat.
Iranian MP Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani confirmed that Iran supplies Russia with weapons, while less than a day ago, Iran’s mission to the UN rejected accusations of transferring short-range ballistic missiles to Russia .
As Ardestani stated in an interview with Didban Iran , Iran “does not intervene in the war directly”, but sells weapons to Russia to meet its needs.
“We are forced to exchange goods to meet our needs, including the import of soybeans and wheat. Part of the barter includes sending missiles, and another part – sending military drones to Russia,” Ardestani said.
Also, when asked whether sending ballistic missiles to Russia could lead to further sanctions against Iran, the lawmaker replied that “it cannot be worse than it is.”
“We give missiles to Hezbollah, Hamas and Hashd al-Shaabi, so why not give them to Russia?” he said.
He said that since NATO is helping Ukraine, Iran will also “support its ally.”
“We sell weapons and get dollars. We bypass sanctions thanks to our partnership with Russia. We import soybeans, corn and other goods from Russia. Europeans sell weapons to Ukraine. NATO entered Ukraine, so why don’t we support our ally by sending missiles and drones to Russia?” – said Ardestani.

Ukraine is now killing 35.000 Nazis per month………………..that double the figure per month compared to their little war in Afghanistan in total.
“We give missiles to Hezbollah, Hamas and Hashd al-Shaabi, so why not give them to Russia?”
Or, to put it in another way:
“We give missiles to the small terrorist groups, so why not give them to the largest terrorist group?”
