An informed source has claimed the document is '100% authentic'. It shows various types of ammunition worth just over $1m (£800,000).
Jack Watling, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, who has spent a lot of time in Ukraine covering the war and is also an expert on Iran, said it would make"perfect sense" for Moscow and Tehran to agree contracts for arms sales.
The security source said such typos were possible. This was an opinion shared by another expert who also viewed the files.An internationally recognised set of regulations and terms that underpin trade deals, known as the INCOTERMS, or International Commercial Terms, are cited - making the covert sale of arms seem almost mundane.
The contract reads:"7.1 Inability of any party to comply with any of its liabilities under the contract shall not be considered a violation of the contract if this is caused by the circumstances of force majeure. These principles are approved by an inter-governmental organisation called the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law , which has more than 60 member states, including Iran and Russia but also the UK, the US and other Western allies.
They include 40,000 of 122mm high-explosive rounds, 14,000 of 152mm high-explosive rounds and 10,000 of 125mm high-explosive shells.However, a separate annex to the contract comprises another table of the same kind of ammunition. It is described as a supplement to a contract numbered: NoIR-RU-2022 6001/1/N2P/2236478020959, which is dated 14 September 2020.
