Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has rejected as untrue claims that Iran has sent  arms including military drones [to Russia] to be used in the Ukraine war.

Kanaani said such baseless claims that are made based on false information and spiteful assumptions are part of the targeted and political propaganda campaign waged by media of some countries against the Islamic Republic of Iran.  He noted that Iran is ready for talks with Ukraine to dispel such allegations.

Kanaani pointed to Iran’s active neutrality in the Ukraine war. He noted that the Islamic Republic of Iran has opposed the continuation of the war from the beginning of the conflict, stressing the need for the cessation of hostilities and finding a negotiated settlement of disputes. 
The foreign ministry spokesman underlined that in that vein, the Iranian foreign minister has held numerous meetings and contacts with his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts. 

Kanaani underscored at the end that, by adopting a transparent and unwavering stance, the Islamic Republic of Iran has always stressed the need to respect the basic principles of sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries including Ukraine based on the principles and goals of the UN Charter and international law.
