According to journalists' interlocutors The New York TimesIran turned to Russia with a request for help in satellite reconnaissance.
This is due to preparations for possible attacks from Israel in response to a missile attack carried out by Tehran on October 1, 2024.
Iranian officials involved in military planning spoke about the request. The New York Times did not provide additional details or clarify whether the request was granted.
At the same time, The New York Times does not provide other details and does not report whether Russia has responded to this request.
This occurred in the context of the start of an Israeli ground operation in southern Lebanon, announced on the first day of October to defend against Hezbollah attacks. The Pentagon supported Israel's right to self-defense, while the Iranian president condemned the IDF's actions.
On October 1, Iran fired 180 missiles at Israel, some of them reaching the center of the country, and the rest reaching the southern regions.
Iranian officials are now awaiting a “response” from Israel.
