Iran Denies Allegations of Missile Sales to Russia
News summary

Iran has categorically denied allegations from the European Union and Western officials claiming it supplied ballistic missiles to Russia for use in the Ukraine conflict. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani described such claims as 'sheer lies' and emphasized Iran's opposition to the war, while condemning the EU's stance as based on false information. In contrast, the EU asserts that intelligence supports these claims and is preparing a strong response, including potential sanctions against Iran's aviation sector. Despite these allegations, skepticism remains among some Western diplomats and officials, with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky stating he cannot confirm the use of Iranian missiles by Russia. Reports indicate that Iran has previously provided drones to Russia, and the situation escalates as the West considers military responses. The diplomatic tensions continue as Iran summoned European ambassadors to object to the allegations, calling them groundless and advocating for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
