NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Iran has appeared to acknowledge for the first time that it sent drones to Russia in the months before the invasion of Ukraine.
Tehran said today a ‘small number’ of drones were given to Moscow, with drones later used to target power stations and civilian infrastructure.
Foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian was quoted by the country’s official news agency, IRNA, as saying: ‘This fuss made by some Western countries that Iran has provided missiles and drones to Russia to help the war in Ukraine.
‘The missile part is completely wrong. The drone part is true and we provided Russia a small number of drones months before the Ukraine war.’
