Basta: Lukashenka Armed the Iranian Military Who Downed Boeing

Basta: Lukashenka Armed the Iranian Military Who Downed Boeing

The dictator also sold arms to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which took responsibility for launching the missile.

The crash of the Ukrainian passenger plane and the situation in Iran are the top world news. The region is again on the brink of a great war, Tehran is consciously getting tough because the regime of a "besieged fortress" is one of the few ways to retain power amid sanctions and economic crisis. Not only Iran's closest neighbours are under threat, as security services of this country control terrorist organizations, which can carry out their activity not only in the Middle East, «Баста» telegram channel writes.

In this context, it will be wise to recall who had a hand in the armament and technical equipping of the Iranian army, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

First of all, it is Russia and China. But the Lukashenka regime is not the last one among those who armed Tehran.

Belarus used to sell tanks, armoured personnel carriers and heavy artillery to Iran. In January 2007, the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding on defence. Military and technical cooperation was the main subject of the meeting between Lukashenka and Ahmadinejad in May 2007. In 2009, Minsk sold Russian-made Iskander-M4 (NATO reporting name SS-26 Stone) ballistic missile systems to Tehran. On 4 December 2011, the Iranian military intercepted the American Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel drone using Belarusian electronic warfare systems.

This information is available in open sources. Given the closed nature of both the Belarusian and Iranian regimes, especially in the sphere of the military-industrial complex, there are more facts about their cooperation. We may learn about them soon.

In the meantime, all the friends of the Belarusian dictator in the West should realise that the blame for the deaths of the citizens of Europe and the USA at the hands of Iranian military and Tehran-backed terrorists lies on Lukashenka as well.
