The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson has echoed the Islamic Republic of Iran’s previous assertions that the country has emphasized many times that it opposes war and supports a political solution to sort out the differences between Russia and Ukraine to stop the military conflict.

 

Nasser Kanaani made the remarks on Sunday answering a question by IRNA news agency’s political desk reporter on claims that Iran has delivered ballistic missiles to Russia.

 

He said since the beginning of the crisis in Ukraine, the Islamic Republic of Iran has never been a part of the war and military conflict, stressing Iran’s supportive stance on a political solution and bilateral talks to end the crisis and conflict.

 

The spokesperson added the Islamic Republic of Iran’s principled and declared approach on the crisis in Ukraine has not changed.

 

He slammed some Western countries for repeating the claim of delivering ballistic missiles to Russia as politically driven and completely baseless.

 

Kanaani stated, “The conventional military cooperation between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation has a much older history than the start of the Ukrainian war.”

 

“The cooperation is within the framework of bilateral deals and based on international norms and laws and has nothing to do with the crisis in Ukraine,” he explained.
