  • An order of Russian made S-300 heavy surface-to-air missiles purchased by Iran, has been put on hold by Russia following talks with Israeli officials.

    Israel provided evidence to Russia that Iran was supplying Russian made weapons to Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon, which was confirmed by Russian reconnaissance aircraft that spotted SA-22 missile launchers in Hezbollah territory.

    This has severely impeded Iran's military modernization drive.

  • The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps of Iran staged nationwide ballistic missile tests which they claim, shows Iran's "deterrence power".

    Iran's Revolutionary Guard said the missile tests exhibit Iran's "full readiness to confront all kinds of threats against the Revolution, establishment and territorial integrity."

    US officials expressed concern over the development, stating that the tests could be a possible violation of UNSC resolution 2231.

    Credits:
  • The UNSC resolution 2231 was adopted in October 2015 to lift existing sanctions on Iran, so that the Iranian Nuclear deal could be implemented.

    It carries a clause that Iran would refrain from conducting tests of nuclear capable missiles that could pose a threat to the region.

    World powers can use this resolution to impose penalties on Iran in light of the recent tests.

  • Information

    UNSC 2231 leaves room for tests?

  • The UNSC resolution 1929, which barred Iran from conducting any missile tests was replaced by UNSC resolution 2231. While UNSC 2231 calls for Iran to abstain from conducting tests, it does not impose any prohibitory conditions or mandates regarding missile tests.
