Iran's official news agency reported Monday that the country displayed its long-range Mohajer-10 drones at a defense exhibition in Russia,

U.S. authorities have accused Iran of providing drones to Russia, notably the Mohajer-10's predecessor, the Mohajer-6, while Iran continuously denied such accusations.

According to IRNA, the more modern equipment is on show at the Army 2024 International Military-Technical Forum, which takes place from Monday to Wednesday in Patriot Park outside Russia's capital.

The claim comes amid "Israel's" nervous awaiting Iran's vowed reprisal attack on the occupation following its murder of martyr Ismail Haniyeh on July 31.

Iran revealed data about the Mohajer-10 system in August last year saying it had a longer flying range and could carry a larger payload.

A video accompanying the footage showed the drone with other military equipment, with the caption "prepare your shelters" in Hebrew and Persian.

Iranian media sources say the drone has an operational range of 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) and a flight time of up to 24 hours. Its payload capacity is believed to be double that of the Mohajer-6, at 300 kg (661 pounds).

Iran denies reports it is to deliver ballistic missiles to Russia

According to two European intelligence sources who spoke to Reuters, Iran is expected to deliver hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia in the near future.

The sources claimed that dozens of Russian military personnel are currently undergoing training in Iran on how to operate a short-range ballistic missile system. The sources further indicated that these satellite-guided weapons are likely to be used by Russia in its ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The Iranian Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York responded to these claims in a statement, acknowledging the long-standing strategic partnership between Iran and Russia across various sectors, including military cooperation.

However, the UN mission emphasized that Iran, on ethical grounds, refrains from transferring any weapons, including missiles, that could be used in the Ukraine conflict until it concludes.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani condemned in mid-July NATO's allegation during a summit in the US about Iranian military assistance to Russia as completely "unfounded" and "politically motivated". 

"Unfortunately, what we are witnessing in Ukraine is the outcome of NATO's provocative policies and moves with the centrality of the United States, and it is still ongoing," he said.

The Iranian envoy made note of the fact that Iran has always sought to stabilize and contribute to the process of establishing long-term security in both the region and the world.
