Iran recently shipped a large number of long-range, surface-to-surface missiles to its proxy groups in Iraq, calling into question Tehran’s intentions regarding negotiations about freezing its nuclear development program.

Reuters reported earlier this week that a number of Iranian proxy groups based in Iraq were planning to disarm, as a gesture of goodwill and de-escalation with the United States.

But a new report from the UK Times revealed that in reality, Iran is boosting those groups’ arsenals.
