„General Soleimani traveled to Moscow last night to discuss issues including the delivery of S-300s and further military cooperation,“ one senior Iranian security official told Reuters, referring to an air defense system Russia is supplying Iran.
One Moscow-based Western diplomat said he understood Soleimani would meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu. A Kremlin spokesman said a meeting with Soleimani was not on Putin‘s schedule.
