Iran Denies Sending Ballistic Missiles to Russia

Iranian Foreign Minister (FM) Abbas Araghchi asserted that his country has not provided Russia with any ballistic missiles, labeling the accusations as part of a psychological warfare campaign.

In a post on his official account on the platform (X), Araghchi responded to reports from several Western countries regarding Iranian-Russian military cooperation, stating: "Those addicted to sanctions should ask themselves how Iran can manufacture and sell these sophisticated weapons." He emphasized that sanctions are not a solution but part of the problem.

Earlier, Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations also refuted Western claims about supplying ballistic missiles to Moscow, stating last Friday that Iran considers providing military assistance to any party in the Ukraine war as inhumane, as it exacerbates loss of life and damage to infrastructure in Ukraine.
