Single source · Tehran, Iran · 2026-11-06 15:50 UTC

Reports say Iran and Russia are negotiating a deal for Russia to supply Tehran with S-400 air defence systems. The Telegraph, citing a senior Iranian official, reports that security chief Mohsen Rezaei carried a personal letter from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to Vladimir Putin in Moscow requesting the systems, a detail Tabz and Iran International repeat. No statement from an official source in the claims confirms or denies the talks.
