The Kremlin firmly denied reports on Thursday, March 26, alleging that it was sending a significant number of attack drones to Iran to assist against current U.S.-Israeli airstrikes.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov addressed these claims during a daily press conference, stating, "There are so many fake leaks being spread by the media... Don’t pay attention to them."
A report published by the Financial Times on Wednesday, citing Western intelligence sources, suggested that Russia was preparing to dispatch not only attack drones but also food and medical supplies to Iran.
It was indicated that discussions between Russian and Iranian officials regarding these supplies took place soon after the escalation of hostilities, which began in February, with cargo reportedly scheduled to reach Iran by the end of this month.
Earlier in the month, The Washington Post revealed that Moscow had shared sensitive intelligence with Tehran, including the locations of U.S. naval and air assets in the area.
Russia maintains a close partnership with Iran and has condemned the U.S.-Israeli military actions as an “unprovoked act of armed aggression,” yet it continues to deny claims of supplying military assistance to Tehran.
