In a recent statement, the Head of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, categorically denied allegations of Iran supplying drones and missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine. Abdollahian made this statement during a discussion at the World Economic Forum (WEF) and emphasized that Iran has never provided such weaponry to Moscow.
This denial comes after claims made by US National Security Council representative John Kirby, suggesting that Iran is considering transferring ballistic missiles to Russia. However, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov refrained from commenting on Kirby’s statement.
Abdollahian further highlighted that the Ukrainian side has failed to present any evidence supporting the claim that Russian forces are utilizing Iranian weapons in the special military operation zone in Ukraine.
The issue of trade between Russia and Iran has also been affected by logistical problems, as reported earlier.
While tensions continue to rise in the region, this latest denial from Iran adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The allegations of weapon transfers between Iran and Russia have raised concerns among international observers, especially given the involvement of these two countries in global politics.
As the situation develops, it is crucial to closely monitor the actions and statements of all parties involved to gain a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics at play.
