Russia: Claims of Iranian artillery exportation is baseless


(MENAFN) Vasily Alekseyevich Nebenzya, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, announced on Friday that the industrial and military complex of the Russian Federation can achieve its aims without needing to receive outside help.

As reported by Tass news agency, the envoy said at the UN Security Council that the claims of importing arms from Iran are totally false.

“They try to distract public attention to bogus allegations about the passage of armaments from Iran to Russia, but we have repeatedly denied the allegations,” Nebenzya stated, claiming that “Moscow will not be impacted by former Western allies.”

John Kirby, a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council, said on Friday that Iran has become Russia’s “top military backer”.

Kirby went on to say, "Russia's been using Iranian drones to strike energy infrastructure, depriving millions of Ukrainians of power, heat, critical services. "
