Kremlin Denies Claim of Iran Sending Ballistic Missiles to Russia

European Union foreign policy spokesman Peter Stano claimed today that he has reliable information that shows that Iran is providing its ballistic missiles to Russia.

He said: "We are aware of the reliable information provided by our allies about the delivery of Iranian ballistic missiles to Russia" and warned about the imposition of new sanctions against Iran if the delivery of these missiles to Moscow is confirmed.
Nasser Kanaani, the spokesperson of Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said about these claims: "We have a clear position regarding the developments in Ukraine, and it is unfortunate that some parties, who are themselves part of the war in Ukraine, raise accusations against Iran with political motives." We are not part of the war and conflict on the issue of Ukraine, and we have repeatedly emphasized that we consider the political solution to be the best solution to this crisis.
This senior diplomat of the Islamic Republic of Iran reminded: We strongly reject the allegations made about Iran's role in exporting weapons to one side of the war in the Ukraine crisis, and we consider these accusations and claims to be the result of the political agenda of the parties who make these accusations.
Kanaani clarified: These accusations are brought to Iran by those who are supplying weapons to one side of the war in this crisis and are playing a role in the expansion of this war.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also emphasized that "Iran is an important partner of Russia", adding: "We are developing bilateral trade and economic relations, we are developing our cooperation and dialogue in all fields, including the most sensitive areas."
Peskov added: We will continue this work for the benefit of the people of our countries.
