Russia and Iran are cooperating on a secret, multi-year program to transfer military technology and develop a new weapon.
The Financial Times reported on Tuesday, September 1, that the weapon could eventually pose a threat to US aircraft carriers and warships in the Middle East.
The program has been described as one of the most significant alleged cases of military technology transfer from Moscow to Tehran and as a sign of expanding defense cooperation between the two countries.
Relations between Iran and Russia have expanded in recent years, particularly in the areas of defense, security, and energy.
However, no precise details have been released about the type of weapon or the extent of its development.
