国际飞航追踪机构提供的信息显示，从2025年12月底开始，由俄罗斯民用企业运营的伊尔-76运输机，频繁飞越高加索地区，执行从伊朗首都德黑兰到俄罗 斯斯塔夫罗波尔边疆区的运输任务。这个空运行动的开始时间，正好与伊朗国内爆发大规模示威活动的时机相吻合，可能与军事物资运输或资产转移有关。 首先谈到军事物资运输，在去年6月的以伊冲突中，伊朗在防空能力上的严重缺陷暴露无遗，导致了惨重损失。由于伊朗本国无法快速提升防空力量，急需 从国际市场购买先进的防空系统、雷达和导弹等装备。与此同时，伊朗国内的抗议活动愈演愈烈，政府担心美国和以色列会借此机会对伊朗进行军事打击， 推翻政权。因此，伊朗可能向俄罗斯紧急求助，请求提供防空设备。不过，鉴于当前俄罗斯的经济状况，普京政府不可能无偿援助，特别是在两国都受到西 方制裁、无法通过常规国际金融系统进行支付的情况下。于是，通过运输机将防空装备送到伊朗，再将美元、欧元或黄金等支付手段带回俄罗斯，成为了一 个相对便捷的交易方式。 另一方面，哈梅内伊已经86岁高龄，继任问题成为伊朗政坛的一个焦点。外界普遍认为他的次子穆杰塔巴可能会接替父亲的位置，成为伊朗的新最高领袖。 但哈梅内伊心知肚明，自己 ...
