Iran denies supplying ballistic missiles to Russia.


Iran denies accusations of supplying ballistic missiles to Russia, despite claims by American and European governments and sanctions against it.
It is quite possible that deliveries have taken place in the past ... but I can assure you that since I took office, there have been no such supplies from Russia
Russia also denies reports of receiving ballistic missiles from Iran, but Iran is the main military sponsor of Russia and has previously provided it with drones for use in Ukraine.
The US Secretary of State confirmed Iran's transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia and emphasized that this could lead to their use on the battlefield within weeks. The European Union also considers this a 'direct threat' to Europe's security and a serious escalation.
The news of Iran's missile transfer to Russia is linked to a possible decision by the US and its allies to allow Ukraine to use Western weapons against Russia. Although this has not been officially announced, some media outlets claim that such a decision is imminent.
In response to Iran's actions, the West has imposed new sanctions. Key Iranian airlines have been sanctioned by the US for their role in supplying weapons to Russia for the conflict in Ukraine. In addition, the UK, France, and Germany have restricted Iran Air's operations on their territory.
Observers believe that Russia will face challenges in weapon production and will become even more dependent on its foreign partners, such as Iran, North Korea, and China.
