Iran denies data on joint construction of a plant for the production of UAVs with Russia

Reports that Iran is allegedly building a drone factory with Russia are not true, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani said.

“This is fake news. Unfortunately, the countries that are the largest suppliers of weapons and equipment to one of the parties to the conflict are trying to mislead world public opinion by spreading fake news. The Islamic Republic of Iran does not take any side in the conflict and does not even plan to do so. Its goal is to achieve a political solution to the conflict.” quotes Kanani Agency Mehr.

The Wall Street Journal formerly wrote about the alleged dispatch of an Iranian delegation to Russia to assess the possibilities of building a plant capable of producing drones.

Russian and Iranian authorities repeatedly denied reports of alleged deliveries of Iranian-made drones to Russia for use in the course of a special operation. In August 2022, The Washington Post wrote about this. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the publication, called it “information stuffing.”

On October 17, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry accused Iran of supplying weapons to Russia, including drones that are allegedly used during a special operation in Ukraine. in response to Peskov declaredthat in the course of the NWO, Russia uses only Russian equipment, which has a Russian name.
