The Kremlin, commenting on a Reuters report that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards were mostly using homemade or Russian- or Chinese-made communications devices, says Moscow’s trade links with Tehran were developing.
An Iranian security official told Reuters that Iran was concerned about infiltration by Israeli agents following deadly pager attacks on Hezbollah earlier this month. The Lebanon-based terror group is an Iranian proxy and Tehran’s envoy to Beirut was among the injured.
A large-scale operation to inspect all communication devices used by the Revolutionary Guards was underway, the official added.
