WANA (Aug 31) – Nasser Kanaani, the spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has responded to recent allegations of an Iranian military presence in Ukraine. The claims suggested that an Iranian military official was in Ukraine to train Russian forces. Kanaani dismissed these accusations as baseless and denied their validity.

 

The spokesperson reiterated Iran’s principled stance against the war, emphasizing the need for an end to hostilities and a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Kanaani stressed that specific political motives drive such unfounded allegations and contradict Iran’s fundamental approach to the Ukraine conflict.

 

The war between Ukraine and Russia, starting in February 2022, is one of the most significant conflicts in Europe since World War II, leading to humanitarian and economic consequences. Ongoing international efforts, including economic sanctions against Russia and support for Ukraine, aim to end the conflict and reduce violence and casualties, profoundly impacting global power dynamics and international order.
