"UN Resolution Expiry: Russia's Potential for Rearming with Iranian Missiles"

A UN Security Council resolution that prohibited Iran from exporting and importing ballistic missiles and armed drones has expired, potentially allowing Russia to seek Iranian-made missiles as it intensifies attacks on Ukraine. While Iran has not yet supplied missiles to Russia, their defense relationship has been expanding. The expiration of the resolution could have implications for Ukraine, which is bracing for another winter of Russian missile and drone attacks. However, there are doubts about whether the missiles will actually end up in Russian hands, as Moscow does not want to become overly dependent on Tehran and risk antagonizing Israel and Arab Gulf countries.
