Kanaani dismissed the claims as "completely unfounded and politically charged," according to Iranian state media. He went further, stating that the current situation in Ukraine is a direct result of "NATO's provocative policies" led by the United States.

The spokesperson emphasized Iran's consistent stance: any attempt to link the war to Iranian-Russian cooperation is "biased political motivation" aimed at justifying Western arms shipments to Ukraine.

Kanaani reiterated Iran's commitment to a "constructive and stabilizing role" in establishing regional and global security. He reaffirmed that Iran has not supplied drones to Russia during the conflict, advocating for a political solution to achieve lasting peace in Ukraine. (ILKHA)
