**Tehran, Iran** – Iran has vehemently denied Western allegations that it is supplying Russia with short-range missiles for use in the Ukraine war. In a statement released today, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian asserted that these accusations are “baseless and politically motivated.”
The denial comes as a coalition of European nations has imposed fresh sanctions on Iran, citing its alleged involvement in the Ukraine conflict. The sanctions target individuals and entities believed to be responsible for supplying military equipment to Russia.
Iran has vowed to respond to these sanctions, though specifics regarding the response have not been disclosed.
The international community remains divided on the issue of Iran’s alleged arms supply to Russia. While Western countries have presented evidence suggesting Iranian involvement, Tehran maintains its innocence and accuses the West of seeking to destabilize the region.
