Video released by the Iraqi Defense Ministry shows SU-25 ground attack aircraft arriving in Baghdad. Russia on June 28 delivered a batch of Sukhoi jets to help Iraq quell an offensive by Islamic militants. The new video shows a second batch of aircraft delivered July 1. The defense ministry did not say where the planes came from. But an analysis of the video, conducted by defense experts of the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, concluded that the latest warplanes originated from Iran.
