Iran Denies Recent Weapon Transfers to Russia Amid Western Accusations

President Pezeshkian asserts no arms have been sent to Moscow since his administration began in August, countering claims of missile deliveries.

  • Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that his government has not transferred any weapons to Russia since taking office in August.
  • Western powers, including the United States, accused Iran last week of supplying ballistic missiles to Russia for use in the Ukraine conflict.
  • In response to these allegations, the U.S. and its allies have imposed new sanctions on both Moscow and Tehran.
  • Both Russia and Iran have denied the claims, with Pezeshkian suggesting any previous deliveries occurred before his tenure.
  • A Reuters report from February indicated that Iran had previously provided Russia with a significant number of surface-to-surface ballistic missiles.
