🇷🇺🇮🇷⚡- "Iran agreed a secret €500mn arms deal with Russia to acquire thousands of advanced shoulder-fired missiles in its most significant effort to rebuild air defences shattered during last year’s war with Israel.

The Verba is one of Russia’s most modern air-defence systems, a shoulder-fired, infrared-guided missile capable of targeting cruise missiles, low-flying aircraft and drones.

Under the €495mn Verba contract, the deliveries are scheduled in three tranches, running from 2027 through 2029.
