Iran acknowledges sending drones to Russia for first time

DUBAI, 06 November 2022, (TON): Iran’s foreign minister on Saturday acknowledged for the first time that his country has supplied Russia with drones, insisting the transfer came before Moscow’s war on Ukraine that has seen the Iranian-made drones divebombing Kyiv.

The comments by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian come after months of confusing messaging from Iran about the weapons shipment, as Russia sends the drones slamming into Ukrainian energy infrastructure and civilian targets.

Amirabdollahian told reporters “we gave a limited number of drones to Russia months before the Ukraine war.”
