At the same time as the statement by the US, the UK and the EU about Iran's intention to equip Russia with ballistic missiles produced in Iran's military industries, CNN reported on the interception of a Russian cargo ship suspected of transporting Iranian missiles in satellite images.
This cargo ship left a port in Iran on the Caspian Sea for Russia last week.
According to CNN, the satellite images published by the technology company "Maxar" indicate that the ship "Port Olya 3", which left Amirabad on the coast of the Caspian Sea of Iran last week, was detected in the port of Astrakhan and turned off its transmitter. This ship is suspected of carrying ballistic missiles received from Iran.
An hour after the US Secretary of State's statement during his trip to London on Tuesday this week regarding Iran's intention to equip Russia with ballistic missiles, the US Treasury Department seized four ships belonging to Jamaludin Amirmagomedovich (Amirmohamedovitch) Pashaev, the owner of a chain of Russian shipping companies who were accused along with 20 people and institutions of the Islamic Republic of Iran in helping to transfer "lethal aid from Iran to Russia".
