What to know

  • IRGC spokesman Mohammad Akraminia says Iran will receive Russian-made Su-35 fighter jets once the US-Iran war ends, with contracts, procurement and pilot training already finished.
  • He claims the jets were originally due to arrive before the war started, without explaining the delay.
  • Akraminia frames the delivery as part of a broader push to upgrade Iran's air force with supporting radar and satellite systems, while blaming US sanctions for hampering military modernization.
  • No outlet has independently confirmed Russian government or manufacturer commitment to the sale; Russia is not named directly in Akraminia's interview.

“We had already completed the necessary preliminary work, including the procurement process and the signing of contracts. The necessary work concerning pilot training and instruction had also been completed, and there were no longer any problems in that regard.”
