“Iranian media reported that Iran has requested advanced air-defense systems from Russia as it prepares for a possible war with Israel.

Two Iranian officials familiar with the war planning, one a member of the Revolutionary Guards Corps, confirmed that Iran has made the request and said Russia has started delivering advanced radars and air-defense equipment. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the aid publicly.”

Air defense is Iran’s greatest weakness  but I’m skeptical that Russia would provide such support on this front absent other confirming information.
