WANA (May 10) – The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations has dismissed as ridiculous a recent report by a news agency alleging that Iran has sent Fath missile launchers to Russia.

 

In a statement issued on Saturday local time, the Iranian Mission said: “This claim is utterly ridiculous. It is regrettable that this news agency continues its practice of publishing baseless accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

 

The Mission emphasized that as long as the conflict between the parties continues, Iran will refrain from providing any military assistance to either side.

 

Previously, some media outlets had alleged that Iran sent Fath ballistic missiles to Russia last year for use in the war against Ukraine, and that the launchers are expected to be delivered in the near future.
