Iran denies supplying Russia with weapons for use in Ukraine
Iran's foreign ministry on Saturday again rejected allegations that Iran had supplied Russia with weapons "for the Ukrainian war."
Ukraine and many Western allies have accused Moscow of using Iranian-made drones to attack Ukraine in recent weeks. EU foreign ministers are expected to discuss the issue when they meet in Luxembourg on Monday.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stressed in a statement from the Iranian Foreign Ministry that "The Islamic Republic of Iran does not and will not provide any weapons for the war in Ukraine. "
"We believe that arming each side in this crisis will prolong the war," said Yabudurasin in a phone call with Portuguese Foreign Minister Joao Gomes Cravinho. There is no belief and no belief that war is the right path, whether in Ukraine or in Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen."
Abdurasin spoke Friday with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Boley. During the call, Josep Borrell reiterated Iran's official neutrality over the war in Ukraine.
"We have defense cooperation with Russia, but our policy on the war in Ukraine is to not supply arms to all parties to the conflict, stop the war, stop expelling people," he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Iranian drones were used in Russian attacks on the energy infrastructure of several Ukrainian cities, it said Monday.
The Ukrainian government last month decided to significantly downgrade diplomatic relations with Iran over Iran's alleged arms supply to Russia.
Iran said the decision was "driven by unsubstantiated information provided by foreign media propaganda."
The United States imposed sanctions in September on a company accused of helping deliver Iranian drones to Russia for use in Ukraine.

伊朗否認(rèn)向俄羅斯提供用于烏克蘭的武器
伊朗外交部星期六再度拒絕伊朗已經(jīng)向俄羅斯提供“用于烏克蘭戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)”的武器的指稱。
烏克蘭和很多西方盟友指責(zé)莫斯科近幾個(gè)星期使用伊朗制造的無(wú)人機(jī)攻擊烏克蘭。歐盟成員國(guó)外長(zhǎng)們星期一在盧森堡開(kāi)會(huì)時(shí)預(yù)計(jì)會(huì)討論這個(gè)議題。
伊朗外長(zhǎng)亞布杜拉辛(Hossein Amir-Abdollahian)在伊朗外交部的一份聲明中強(qiáng)調(diào)說(shuō),“伊朗伊斯蘭共和國(guó)沒(méi)有也不會(huì)提供用于烏克蘭戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的任何武器。”
亞布杜拉辛在與葡萄牙外長(zhǎng)克拉維尼奧(Joao Gomes Cravinho)通話時(shí)說(shuō),“我們認(rèn)為武裝這場(chǎng)危機(jī)中的每一方會(huì)延長(zhǎng)這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng),”“我們沒(méi)有認(rèn)為也不認(rèn)為戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)無(wú)論是在烏克蘭或是在阿富汗、敘利亞和也門(mén)是一條正確的道路。”
亞布杜拉辛星期五在與歐盟外交與安全事務(wù)高級(jí)代表博雷利(Josep Borrell)通話時(shí)重申了伊朗對(duì)烏克蘭戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)持有的官方中立立場(chǎng)。
他說(shuō),“我們與俄羅斯有國(guó)防合作,但我們對(duì)烏克蘭戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的政策是不向沖突各方提供武器,停止戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng),停止驅(qū)離民眾。”
烏克蘭總統(tǒng)澤連斯基星期一說(shuō),俄羅斯對(duì)幾個(gè)烏克蘭城市的能源基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施發(fā)動(dòng)的攻擊中使用了伊朗無(wú)人機(jī)。
烏克蘭政府上月因伊朗據(jù)稱向俄羅斯提供武器而決定極大降低與伊朗的外交關(guān)系。
伊朗說(shuō),這個(gè)決定是“外國(guó)媒體宣傳提供的沒(méi)有根據(jù)的信息驅(qū)動(dòng)的”。
美國(guó)9月份對(duì)一家被控幫助向俄羅斯交付用于烏克蘭的伊朗無(wú)人機(jī)的一家公司實(shí)施了制裁。
