Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claims that his country has not supplied any weapons to Russia since he took office at the end of July, according to Radio Free Europe.
"It is possible that a delivery took place in the past...but I can assure you that since I took office, there has not been any such delivery to Russia," Pezeshkian said.
At the same time, he emphasized that Iran and Russia have the right to maintain relations.
According to him, the war in Ukraine was provoked by NATO countries, breaking the promise not to expand eastward.
