Iranian FM stated that Iran does not seek to take sides in the Ukraine war, and he did not confirm the sale of weapons to Russia; in parallel, the US denies having any evidence of such a sale altogether.

Opposite to US allegations, Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian, in an interview on Wednesday with La Repubblica newspaper, did not confirm the sale of military equipment, including unmanned aerial vehicles, to Russia. Amir-Abdollahian said that Iran will continue to avoid any steps that could prolong the war in Ukraine. Iran has avoided taking sides in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

"We have various forms of cooperation with Russia, including in the sphere of defense, but we are not helping either side involved in the [Ukrainian] conflict because we are certain that it should be ended. I think that currently, the problem is elsewhere - some Western countries, including the US, are manufacturing arms and trying to sell their products. We are trying to avoid any actions that may lead to an escalation. We are working on stopping this war," the Iranian FM said in response to US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.

Previously, Sullivan had accused Iran of selling unmanned drones to Russia which he argued would pose a threat if used in Ukraine. Earlier today, July 13th, Sullivan stated that the US has no evidence of such trade between the two nations.

"We have not seen evidence of delivery, but we have seen evidence of engagement between the two countries on this specific issue of large numbers of UAVs, including weapons-enabled UAVs for Russia to acquire from Iran," said Sullivan in his statement.
