Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia is not preparing to send drones to Iran, dismissing media reports on the matter as false. He made the remarks in response to a journalist’s question, urging people not to pay attention to what he described as widespread misinformation in the media.

Russia and Iran maintain a strategic partnership agreement, and Moscow has consistently condemned U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. However, there has been no public disclosure of Russia providing weapons or military equipment to Tehran. Some discussions have suggested that Russia may be sharing intelligence with Iran, though this has not been confirmed.

The report also recalls that Iran previously supported Russia during the war in Ukraine, notably through the supply of Iranian-made Shahed drones, which drew international attention.
