    The source seems prominent enough to be posted imho https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_International

    >Iran and Armenia have signed a major arms deal worth $500 million, a source familiar with the situation told Iran International, in a move that could anger Azerbaijan as Tehran supplies Yerevan its infamous suicide drones.

    >The reported agreement has been broken up into several contracts and was signed in the past few months, according to the source, who is a senior military official in the Middle East. Iran International has not identified them for their protection.

    >Iran International has obtained an exclusive list of the military items Iran is set to supply Armenia. That includes drones such as Shahed 136, Shahed 129, Shahed 197, Mohajer, and air defense missile systems like 3rd Khordad, Majid, 15th Khordad, and Arman.

    >This deal has not been reported before. The foreign and defense ministries of Iran and Armenia did not respond to Iran International’s separate requests for comments.

    Edit: Note that this shouldn’t be taken as fact and at last one prominent Armenia military TG channel has already refuted it.

  2. I don’t like this. France and India are already selling weapons. Relations with nato and US are getting stronger. Why risk the progress by buying weapons from Iran
