US ‘alarmed’ by reports Iranian missile transfer to Russia is imminent or completed

Iran's state news agency Tasnim published this photo on July 3, 2023, showing what it says is the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) testing a system that trains personnel to fire Iranian-made “Fath 360” missiles.

The White House tells VOA it is “alarmed” by unconfirmed Western news reports that an unprecedented Iranian transfer of missiles to Russia for use against Ukraine recently happened or will occur imminently. Iran is responding to those reports by separately telling VOA that it “abstains” from arming parties engaged in the war that its ally Russia launched against Ukraine.
