Iran on Sunday again rejected Western accusations that it had supplied military drones to Russia to be used in the Ukraine war, urging the West to put an end to its “futile” blame game.
“Claims about the use of Iranian drones in Ukraine are false,” Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian tweeted.
Amir-Abdollahian criticized “certain Western parties” for making such claims “without presenting any evidence”.
He blamed the accusers for the possible cancelation of an expected meeting between Iran and Ukraine over the dispute.
“The West must stop this futile game,” said the top Iranian diplomat, adding, “Iran supports peace and opposes war.”
At least two rounds of talks have been held between Iranian and Ukrainian officials in Oman to discuss the alleged supply of armed drones to Russian forces fighting in Ukraine.
