Iran has recently finalized a deal to purchase Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets from Russia, deepening their defense and economic cooperation, in defiance of sweeping sanctions and coercive measures. According to Iran’s mission to the United Nations, Russia was ready to sell the fighter jets to Iran, who after October 2020, and the end of Iranian restrictions on conventional weapons purchases, finally agreed to buy them. However, the mission did not specify the exact time of the deal, nor the time Russia would deliver the fighter jets to Iran, stating the information was classified.
