The Iranian Foreign Ministry admitted on Saturday that Tehran supplied Russia with drones, claiming that this happened even before the repeated Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“We delivered a limited number of flying robots to Russia a month before the war in Ukraine,” Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdolakhyan said.
Earlier, Iranian officials denied providing Russia with weapons used in the war against Ukraine.
Just this week, Iranian ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Iravani, announced that the rewards for using Iranian drones to destroy Ukrainian civilian infrastructure were “totally unfounded” and that Iran was maintaining neutrality in this. war.
Although Amirabdolakhyan admitted supplying the drones to Russia, he says Tehran knew nothing of their use to bomb Ukraine.
