Don't know if this is western disinfo or not, but,
according to the Washington Post, Iran plans to send ballistic missiles to Russia. These include the Fateh-110 (650kg warhead, 300km range) and Zolfaghar (450kg warhead, 700km range), as well as more drones and advisors to train Russian troops. Pretty bizarre. Back in 2020, when UN restrictions against Iran importing & exporting arms were set to expire on October 18,
the US was upset and demanding the restrictions be extended because they were scared that Russia would export advanced arms to Iran. Fast forward to today, and it's the other way around.
Both Russia and Iran are denying the veracity of this report, but they've lied about this sort of thing before.
The Washington Post reported on Iran sending Shahed-136 loitering munitions to Russia, which Russia and Iran denied, then evidence came out of Russia using Shahed-136 drones. Here are photos of wreckage from Shahed-136 drones after hitting targets in Ukraine:

And here's a launch rack filled with Shahed-136 drones for comparison:

Hilariously, there was even an incident on October 12th where
a Ukrainian MiG-29 tried to shoot down a Shahed-136, then was shot down itself when it flew too close to the drone.

Just for reference, the Russians have renamed their Shahed-136 drones as Geranium-2 drones.
Maybe this is proof that the Russians are running out of missiles or maybe the Iranians just want their equipment tested out on a NATO enemy. Either way, I'm really enjoying the plot twists in this war and hope for more to come.
