Cooperation between Iran and Russia in the modern technologies sector predates the Ukrainian crisis, according to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman made his remarks Tuesday in response to claims by U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan about Iran’s sale of modern technical breakthroughs to Russia.
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan claimed the U.S. had information that “Iran is preparing to provide Russia with hundreds of drones” and train Russian soldiers to use them in Ukraine.
In this respect, Kanaani said the field of modern technologies between Russia and Iran had not seen any significant development of late.
According to the Foreign Ministry spokesman, “The history of cooperation between Iran and the Russian Federation in the field of modern technologies dates back to the period before the Ukrainian war.”
Within this context, Kanaani denounced Washington’s hypocrisy, arguing that the Middle East has been flooded with weapons by the U.S. and allied powers.
“We have different kinds of cooperation with Russia, including in the defense sector. But we are not going to help either side in this conflict because we believe that it has to be stopped,” Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told Italian newspaper la Repubblica on Wednesday.
“The current problem with the conflict is that some Western countries, including the United States, have arms manufacturers who are trying to sell their products,” he said, adding that Tehran “will avoid any action that could lead to escalation” but we will work to stop the conflict.
