A decade-long United Nations arms embargo on Iran that barred it from purchasing foreign weapons, such as tanks and fighter jets, expired Sunday as planned under its nuclear deal with world powers — despite objections from the United States, which insists the ban remains in place.

While Iran says it plans no "buying spree," it can now in theory purchase weapons to upgrade military armaments dating back to before its 1979 Islamic Revolution and sell its own locally produced gear abroad.

In practice, however, Iran's economy remains crippled by broad-reaching U.S. sanctions, and other nations may avoid arms deals with Tehran for fear of American financial retaliation. The Trump administration has warned that any sales of weapons to Iran or exports from Iran will be penalized.

U.S. says it thwarted drone attack on its troops in Iraq

The U.S. military thwarted an attack targeting its forces in Iraq, intercepting two drones before they could strike, two U.S. officials said.

Last week, Iraqi armed groups aligned with Iran threatened to target U.S. interests with missiles and drones if Washington intervened to support Israel's conflict with Hamas in Gaza.

The one-way attack drones were intercepted as they attempted to strike Iraq's al Asad air base, which hosts American troops, the officials said.

The attack came hours after a strike on a Gaza hospital killed hundreds of Palestinians, raising the stakes for U.S. President Joe Biden as he flies to Israel on Wednesday to signal support for its war against Hamas.

My bad (Good eye Anon!) I inserted wrong link.

United Nations (UN) prohibitions that seek to constrain Iran’s missile and drone activity are set to expire on October 18. If they do and no snapback of sanctions is initiated by a nation still party to the 2015 nuclear deal and its companion UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2231, Iran would be free to sell its ballistic missiles and related long-range strike technologies to its anti-Western partners and clients.

Iran’s partners, such as Russia, would likely use the missiles to facilitate its invasion of Ukraine, while proxies, such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and the Houthis, may get fresh access to ballistic missile technology. Iran’s profits from missile sales could also go toward funding its numerous terrorist proxies.
