The Foreign Ministry of Iran has officially announced that Tehran has not supplied drones to Russia for use in the war against Ukraine. “The Islamic Republic of Iran considers news published on the delivery of [Iran’s] drones to Russia for use in the Ukraine conflict as baseless and does not confirm it,” Xinhua quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani as saying.
“Since the beginning of the [Ukraine] conflict, we have always announced our principled and clear policy on active impartiality and opposition to war, underlining the necessity of a political resolution to disputes between the two sides, and away from violence,” Kanaani said.
According to numerous reports, Russian forces are increasingly using Iranian Shahid-136 kamikaze drones (repainted by the Russians and renamed Geran-2) both against the Armed Forces of Ukraine and against civilian infrastructure.
