A member of Iran's Expediency Council, Mohammad Sadr, stated that during the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran, Russia provided Israel with intelligence on Iran's defense sites. He criticized Russia for supplying Turkey, a NATO member, with the S-400 missile system while refusing to do the same for Iran, despite their strategic alliance. Sadr mentioned ongoing discussions about purchasing Sukhoi-35 aircraft, which Russia has also withheld. He emphasized that while maintaining relations with Russia is necessary, trust should not be placed in them due to their apparent favoritism towards Israel.
