Iran’s foreign minister says that Tehran has not delivered any ballistic missiles to Russia, and says sanctions imposed on Iran by the United States and three European powers would not solve any problems between them.
“Once again, US and E3 act on faulty intelligence and flawed logic. Iran has NOT delivered ballistic missiles to Russia. Period… Sanctions are not a solution, but part of [the] problem,” Minister Abbas Aragchi says in a post on X.
The E3 comprises Britain, Germany and France.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday that Russia had received ballistic missiles from Iran and was likely to use them in Ukraine within weeks. Cooperation between Moscow and Tehran threatened wider European security, he said.
