Reports of Iran transferring missiles to Russia are “psychological warfare,” senior Revolutionary Guards’ commander Fazlollah Nozari says, according to state media.

However, the Kremlin does not deny the report when asked about a Wall Street Journal report Iran had sent short-range ballistic missiles to Russia.

“We have seen this report, it is not every time that this kind of information is true. Iran is our important partner, we are developing our trade and economic relations, we are developing our cooperation and dialogue in all possible areas, including the most sensitive areas,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
