False Iran

Russia reportedly transferred 1000 RS-28 Sarmat nuclear missiles to Iran.

Infact verdict: False (16/100).

No credible evidence supports the claim that Russia transferred 1000 RS-28 Sarmat nuclear missiles to Iran. The RS-28 Sarmat is a sophisticated missile system, and such a transfer would likely be reported by major international news and intelligence sources. Additionally, the missile has experienced recent test failures, reducing its immediate deployment viability. The claim appears highly implausible without corroborating evidence.
