reference news reported on september 17according to a report by the russian satellite news agency on september 16, iranian president peszhashyan stated at his first press conference after taking office on the 16th that iran has not transferred any weapons to russia.

"maybe, something was transferred before, many years ago, because there was no ban or sanctions. but since the government led by me came to power, we have not provided anything to russia. during this period, we have not transferred any missiles to russia," pezhichyan was quoted as saying.

cnn quoted sources on september 6 as saying that iran appears to have transferred short-range ballistic missiles to russia for use in combat operations in ukraine.

iranian foreign ministry spokesman nasser kanani denied the us media's claim that tehran provided weapons to russia for use in the russia-ukraine conflict. russian presidential press secretary dmitry peskov said on the 9th that not every such information is true.

an iranian foreign ministry spokesman previously said that any attempt to link bilateral cooperation between moscow and tehran to the ukrainian conflict is an attempt to justify the west's continued supply of weapons to kiev.
