There has been no supply of weapons to Russia since I took office, the Iranian president

On Monday, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that his administration has not supplied any weapons to Russia since assuming office in August. This statement follows accusations from Western nations claiming that Tehran delivered ballistic missiles to Moscow in September.

Last week, the United States and its allies alleged that Iran had transferred ballistic missiles to Russia to support its military efforts in Ukraine, leading to new sanctions against both Moscow and Tehran. Both Russia and Iran have refuted these allegations.

When questioned about the potential transfer of missiles to Russia, Pezeshkian responded during a televised press conference, “It is possible that a delivery occurred in the past… but I can assure you that since I took office, there has not been any such delivery to Russia.”

In February, Reuters reported that Iran had supplied Russia with a significant quantity of advanced surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, further enhancing the military collaboration between the two nations, both of which are under U.S. sanctions.
