Despite evidence provided by Ukraine and Western countries, Persian officials have for months denied sending drones to Russia. Finally, last November, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian confirmed the deployment, admitting it was limited in number and sent before the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. Ukraine has accused the officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran of “lying,” while the European Union and the United States have imposed several rounds of sanctions against the clerical regime for sending drones to be used in the war on Ukraine.
