Put on pause: Iran did not send to the Russian Federation launchers to Fath-360 missiles-Reuters

Western sources suggest that Iran is probably seeking to maintain the possibility of negotiation with Western countries to reduce tensions. Iran did not include mobile launches in the set of FATH-360 ballistic missiles of the near action radius, which creates uncertainty about the issue of their use. This was reported on September 21 by Reuters, citing a European diplomat, a European intelligence officer and an American official.

The reasons for the lack of starting installations are currently unclear. According to anonymous sources, Russia's plans may be possible to modify their own vehicles for transportation of these missiles. Or Iran seeks to leave a window of opportunity for new negotiations with Western countries to reduce tensions. At the same time, Tehran denies the supply of both missiles and drones for use in Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Moscow has not yet confirmed the receipt of these missiles, but acknowledged that cooperation with Iran covers the "most sensitive areas". Commenting on the event, Fabian Hinz, an expert from the Iranian missiles from the International Strategic Studies Institute for Strategic Studies, said that he could not confirm information about the delay in the supply of Iranian launches of Russia.
