00:00 Iran has continuously issued warnings to Israel since the start of the Israel-Gaza war primarily
00:08 due to IDF's action in Gaza, particularly against Hamas.
00:13 Although Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini has denied direct involvement in
00:17 the ongoing war, Iran appears to be preparing for a large-scale war in the Middle East based
00:22 on its actions.
00:23 In a big development, Iran's Deputy Defense Minister, Brigadier General Mehdi Farahi confirmed
00:28 the finalization of arrangements to acquire an array of advanced Russian military aircraft,
00:33 notably Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets, Mi-28 attack helicopters, and Yak-130 jet trainers.
00:40 Farahi assured the smooth progress of procuring these advanced aircraft, highlighting the
00:44 impeding integration into Iran's military arsenal.
00:47 The Deputy Defense Minister also emphasized Iran's leading position in the region regarding
00:51 military helicopters and emphasized the significant enhancements achieved through various upgrade
00:56 initiatives.
00:57 Although Farahi didn't disclose the precise number of aircraft in the delivery pipeline,
01:01 previous reports suggest that Iran anticipates receiving 24 Su-34 Flanker fighter E-jets
01:07 from Moscow.
01:08 The accusation of these sophisticated military assets signifies Iran's continued efforts
01:12 to bolster its defense capabilities, potentially influencing the regional military landscape.
01:18 Iran is reportedly set to acquire 24 Sukhoi fighter jets, initially destined for Egypt

01:25 Amid escalating Middle East tensions, Iran facing challenges due to American sanctions,
01:30 it has long sought new fighter jets to update its aging air force.
01:33 Now successfully finalizing the deal, Iran marks a significant step in acquiring new
01:37 military aircraft amid the region's heightened tensions.
01:40 However, the deal's timing raises concerns as its swift execution could potentially spell
01:46 trouble for Israel.
01:47 Iran has long backed Hamas and it perceives Israel's action as fueling the escalation
01:51 in the Israel-Gaza war.
01:53 It's been in talks with Hezbollah, Saudi Arabia and the UAE to unite against Israel but no
01:57 solid coalition has been formed yet.
01:59 Surprisingly, Russia, typically neutral on the Israel-Palestine, is also supporting Gaza
02:03 due to humanitarian worries amidst the war.
02:06 The formal announcement of this deal underscores its linkage to Israel's action, making it
