Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh rejected certain media reports that claimed weaponry and military hardware are transported via Iran’s soil to Armenia.

In a statement on Tuesday, Khatibzadeh said the transit of conventional non-military items through Iran to neighbouring countries has always been underway.
“The mentioned trucks are crossing Iran simply within the same framework,” he added.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran carefully monitors and controls the trend of transportation and transit of commodities to other countries [via its soil] and does not allow our country’s soil to be used for the transfer of arms and ammunition whatsoever,” he said.
