The Kremlin on Thursday, March 26, denied a report that it was shipping thousands of attack drones to Iran to defend itself against ongoing U.S.-Israeli airstrikes.
“There are so many fake leaks being spread by the media… Don’t pay attention to them,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters during a daily briefing.
The Financial Times, citing Western intelligence officials, reported Wednesday that Russia was in the process of sending attack drones, food, and medicine to Iran.
Russian and Iranian officials were said to have initiated discussions about those shipments shortly after the United States and Israel launched their war in February. The shipments are allegedly scheduled to arrive in Iran by the end of this month.
The Washington Post reported earlier this month that Moscow had passed sensitive intelligence to Tehran, including the locations of US warships and aircraft in the region.
Russia is one of Iran’s closest partners. Moscow condemned the U.S.-Israeli war as an “unprovoked act of armed aggression,” but it denies providing military equipment and supplies to Tehran.
