Iran rejects allegation of missile sales to Russia

The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanaani, dismissed the allegations made by the high representative of the European Union that Tehran has sold Moscow missiles for the Ukraine war.
 
Kanaani strongly condemned a statement by the European Union’s high representative against Iran under the pretext of its involvement in the Ukraine war, Caliber.Az reports per Iranian media.

“I once again clearly reaffirm Iran’s stance”, Kanaani said, noting that any claim that Iran sold Russia ballistic missiles is a sheer lie, the Foreign Ministry’s website reported.

Warning the other sides against continuing their destructive stances and statements, the spokesman advised the EU against making allegations based on false information.

Kanaani then pointed to the Western countries’ approach to using the outdated weapon of sanctions, saying, “Unfortunately, some Western sides are addicted to imposing sanctions, a course of action that will not only be of no help to resolve problems, but it will also be part of the problem itself and will be met with a response from Iran.”

Officials have made it clear that Iran has never been part of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, expressing Tehran’s opposition to war.
