And another story.  “Russia Delivers MiG-29 Jets to Iran Air Force,” Newsweek, 9-24-25.  “Russian MiG-29 fighter jets have touched down in Iran, giving the country’s aging air force a short-term boost amid escalating Middle East tensions, an Iranian lawmaker said Tuesday.”  Newsweek did not check for itself.

“Fearing another war with Israel, Iran begins rebuilding missile sites, but key component is missing,” Columbian, AP, 9-24-25.  “During the war, Iran fired 574 ballistic missiles at Israel, according to the Washington-based Jewish Institute for National Security of America, which has a close relationship with the Israeli military. In two exchanges of fire before the war, Iran launched another 330 missiles, the think tank said. The Israeli military had estimated Iran’s total arsenal at around 2,500 missiles, meaning that over a third of its missiles were fired.”
