Besides the fact that this is most probably state-sponsored disinformation intended to scuttle the peace talks, I don't see how providing Iran with defensive weapons (as the article details) would be "a provocative move". Aren't the US rearming as well in the same timeframe? Isn't Israel? And they're even the illegal attackers.
