Contributing sentiments towards policy:
59% : If Farahi's claim is soon confirmed, the delivery could benefit the political elites in Tehran and Moscow.57% : Iran has once again claimed it will soon receive its single largest procurement of military hardware from Russia in over 30 years.
56% : For Tehran, the arrival of sleek, shiny new Su-35s will dispel rising suspicions that Iran was giving Russia more than it was getting in return and also provide its regular armed forces with a much-needed equipment upgrade.
55% : They weren't the long-anticipated Su-35s, but the first Yak-130s Tehran had ordered.
53% : Farahi's latest statement is interesting since it clarifies the helicopter Iran has ultimately chosen is the Mi-28, as predicted in this space back in January.
49% : Completing the sale in a timely manner could become a win-win for both Moscow and Tehran or, at the very least, save some face in the two troubled capitals.
48% : There was widespread speculation in 2015 that Iran would seize an opportunity to buy 300 T-90 main battle tanks from Russia for its regular army.
47% : Recurring reports also indicated Tehran would receive S-400s, a more advanced long-range air defense missile system than the S-300PMU-2s it received from Moscow in 2016 as part of a delayed contract initially signed in 2007.
44% : Since at least 2021, recurring reports indicated Iran would acquire approximately two dozen Su-35s Russia had previously built to fulfill an order from Egypt, reportedly canceled by Cairo under U.S. pressure.
44% : Since Russia launched its fateful invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Moscow forged an unprecedented defense partnership with Tehran.
44% : Farahi's statement didn't clarify whether Iran would also receive any new air defenses.
37% : Unlike in the past, the weaponry primarily flowed from Tehran to Moscow, with Iran supplying thousands of loitering munitions - single-use explosive drones, colloquially referred to as "suicide" or "kamikaze" drones - for use against Ukraine.
31% : Over the summer, a report by a Tehran-based journalist citing Iranian officials who claimed Tehran had ordered 50 Su-35s before the Ukraine war but never received any delivery, allegedly leading to much embarrassment in the Iranian capital.
25% : While Russia reportedly delivered Iran millions of dollars in cash and purportedly captured Western weaponry Tehran could reverse-engineer, such as Javelin anti-tank missile, there was no sign of the fighters.
