A senior Iranian commander categorically dismissed reports claiming that Tehran is transferring missiles to Moscow for the use in the Ukraine war as “psychological warfare".
Earlier, The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry said Tehran has never been a party to the Ukraine war and has always sought peaceful resolutions to the years-long conflict.In reply to a question regarding the claims of Iran dispatching ballistic missiles to Russia, Nasser Kana'ani stated Iran, while repeatedly opposing the war, has always supported political solutions to the Ukraine conflict. Iran's stance vai-a-vis the Ukraine war has not changed, and the repeated claims of sending ballistic missiles to Russia are made with specific political objectives of some Western states and are baseless, he continued.The spokesperson stated that the cooperation between Iran and Russia goes back to the pre-war era, adding they are made within the framework of bilateral agreements based on the international norms, having nothing to do with the Ukraine conflict.
Kiev and its Western allies have repeatedly accused Tehran of providing Russia with weapons to be used in the war in Ukraine.Tehran has reiterated that it will not help either side in the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and cautioned that arming Moscow or Kiev will prolong the war between the two neighbors.Tehran has also asked Kiev to submit evidence for the use of Iranian-made drones by Russia in the Ukraine war, but the government of President Volodymyr Zelensky has so far provided no proof.#Iran#Russia#Ukraine 14:53 - 19 شهریور 1403
