Iran's permanent representative to the UN denies Western media reports about the sale of missiles to Russia

Iran is not engaged in the sale of ballistic and other weapons to the Russian Federation missiles and other types of weapons that could then be used in the conflict in Ukraine. This statement was made by Iran's permanent representative to the UN, Amir Saeed Irwani.

According to the Iranian diplomat, reports previously circulated by Western media that Russia allegedly received about 400 ballistic missiles from Iran are untrue. Irwani stressed that Iran is against inciting conflict, adheres to international law and the UN Charter, and therefore weapon does not supply to the conflict zone.



At the same time, the permanent representative of the Islamic Republic recalled that currently there are no legal obstacles to the sale of ballistic missiles by Iran to third countries. Therefore, Tehran's decision not to sell weapons is based solely on ethical considerations.

It is noteworthy that the Reuters news agency, which published material about the alleged transfer of Iranian missiles to Russia, at the same time also cited a statement from the Ukrainian side. Representatives of the Kyiv regime emphasized that no facts of the use of Iranian-made missiles have yet been recorded.

At the same time, Ukrainian authorities regularly report the use by Russia of unmanned aerial vehicles allegedly of Iranian origin. To this end, they persistently refer to the Russians in the press as Drones “Geranium” and “Geranium-2” by “Shahedami”, hinting that they were produced on the territory of the Islamic Republic.

    Where everyone lies, the truth is not at a price. They are not mistaken, they are lying.

      There could well have been an agreement that the missiles would go to our warehouse. And this will give us the opportunity to use Iskanders from the reserve.

        Why does he need to make excuses at all?
        It was necessary to say: “Whether we supply or not, and to whom, concerns only Iran and its client. We do not violate the UN Charters, and that’s none of your business.”
        We have forgotten how to work in the Molotov style.

    Nobody sold anything to anyone. It's all a lie.
    It was a simple barter.

    And who supplies the Ukrainians with the missiles they use to shoot down our planes?!! Isn't it time for these suppliers to start a ruckus so that they can't move anywhere?

    Why would anyone need to explain or make excuses for anything?
    This is a matter for Iran and Russia. And that’s it. The rest can go on an erotic journey or turn to sports lotto

    Interesting situation. The entire West and not only openly supplies weapons to the conflict zone, and Iran and S. Korea must deny and justify themselves. Maybe there is some sense in this, but I don’t understand it. The countries are already under sanctions, why this politeness? The masks have long been dropped

    Stavridis expressed concerns about the threat to undersea cables that carry much of global financial transactions and transfers. Wait!

      This should have been done immediately after the Nord Stream explosions

    The West supplies weapons to the Zionist fascists for the genocide of Palestinians and not a word, although the people in these countries demand to stop, but here you see they have made a fuss! Hypocritical creatures! But the Russians don’t understand what to be afraid of, and so under all sorts of sanctions, the West is already trying to become more sophisticated and doesn’t know what other nasty sanctions to come up with. Why even pay attention to these Western shouts, knowing their hypocrisy and double standards? Take, for example, Eurovision and sports competitions.
