The US and Israel are preparing for a scenario in which Russia can sell Iran "Triumph" S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, Breaking Defense reports.
The publication notes that the purchase of Russian complexes by Tehran is possible if the arms embargo is lifted.
The authors of the article remind that earlier the American and Israeli military conducted joint exercises aimed at working out the neutralization of air defense and aviation systems by F-35 fighters. It is noted that such tactics can be used in the case of opposition to the S-400 complexes.
Breaking Defense emphasizes that Tehran has already tried to negotiate with Moscow on the purchase of "Triumphs" in 2019, but then was refused. However, according to analysts, the lifting of the embargo from Iran is seen as increasingly possible, and at the same time, the two countries ' military cooperation may increase.
Last year, the Iranian authorities allowed the purchase of the S-400. At the same time, the Federal service for military-technical cooperation noted that Russia was ready to supply these complexes, but no such requests had been received from Tehran so far.
