“We supplied Russia with a limited number of drones months before the war in Ukraine,” Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said, quoted by the official news agency IRNA. Ukraine and its Western allies have accused Russia of using Iranian-made drones in recent weeks to carry out attacks in Ukraine. Iran has repeatedly denied that it has been supplying arms to Russia for use in the Ukraine war. The Iranian foreign minister again denied his country had supplied missiles to Russia, calling the accusations “completely false”. Kyiv has said around 400 Iranian drones have already been used against the civilian population of Ukraine, and that Moscow has ordered around 2,000.
