The deal for Iran to acquire Russian Su-35 fighter jets has been finalized, but their delivery has been postponed until after the war ends, Maariv and The Jerusalem Post reported.

According to the reports, an Iranian military spokesman confirmed the deal's completion, clarifying that the aircraft will only arrive once the current conflict is over.
