U.S. Treasury Department Actions
The U.S. Treasury Department confirmed that Russia’s Ministry of Defense used the Port Olya 3 to transport close-range ballistic missiles (CRBMs) from Iran. By early September, the first shipment of these missiles had reached Russia. In response, the U.S. imposed sanctions on the Port Olya 3, other vessels involved, and several Iranian individuals linked to the transfer.
Escalation in Iran-Russia Military Ties
This development represents a significant escalation in Iran’s support for Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. Since the invasion began in February 2022, Iran has provided thousands of drones to Russia and helped set up a drone factory within Russian territory. The recent missile transfer marks a further intensification of their military cooperation.
Fateh-360 Missiles and Their Impact
Around the same time the satellite images emerged, U.S. officials confirmed that Russia had likely received Iranian Fateh-360 ballistic missiles. These missiles, with a range of up to 75 miles and a payload of 330 pounds, could be deployed against Ukrainian targets within weeks. Their range and ballistic nature make them effective for long-range attacks and harder to intercept.
