According to Iran, it has made great progress in the production of drones in recent years. They are also said to play a central role for the Russian aggressor in the Ukraine war. However, Tehran categorically denies this.

According to the Foreign Ministry, Iran is cooperating militarily with Moscow, but this is not connected to the war in Ukraine. Tehran also claims to have always advocated a quick end to the war in Ukraine and to have supported diplomatic negotiations.
