“The Drone Part Is True, The Missile Part Is Completely Wrong” – Iran Admits Military Shipments To Russia

Iran has acknowledged for the first time that it had supplied Moscow with drones but said they were sent before the war in Ukraine.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said a “small number” of drones had been supplied to Russia a few months before Moscow’s forces invaded Ukraine on February 24, but that supply had now stopped.

“This fuss made by some Western countries that Iran has provided missiles and drones to Russia to help the war in Ukraine – the missile part is completely wrong,” the official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying.

“The drone part is true and we provided Russia a small number of drones months before the Ukraine war,” he said.

Russia has used drones to target Ukraine’s power stations and civilian infrastructure.
