Iran "Zelensky spreads anti-Iran propaganda to receive more weapons support"

Iran dismissed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's remarks criticizing Iran's drone support to Russia as baseless allegations.

Nasser Kanaani, spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, issued a statement on the 27th (local time) saying, "President Zelenskyy's remarks are unfounded claims and merely a political show," belittling the comments.

In a video address on the 24th, President Zelenskyy sharply stated, "What is the benefit gained in exchange for becoming an accomplice to Russia's terrorism?" and added, "The Shahed (drone), which terrorizes the Ukrainian people every night, signifies that the Iranian people are entering an increasingly dark history."

Regarding these remarks, spokesperson Kanaani said, "The Ukrainian president is repeating delusional claims about Iran," and criticized, "This is anti-Iran propaganda aimed at receiving more weapons and financial support from Western countries."

He added, "It was Ukraine that refused a joint investigation into the drones used in the war," and stated, "Iran deeply mourns the suffering of the Ukrainian people and supports a political solution to end the war as soon as possible."

The United States has reported that since August last year, Iran has supplied Russia with more than 400 Shahed-type drones. However, Iran denies providing weapons used in the war, stating that it only exported drones to Russia before the Ukraine war as part of defense cooperation.
