Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani said that the Ukrainian president's statements on Iran are attempts to mislead public opinion and political play. Zelenskiy's repetition of his allegations against Iran is an attempt to participate in the media war against Iran and the Iranian people, he said.
Iran initially denied supplying Russia with Shahed drones, but later said it supplied a limited number of them before the start of the Ukrainian conflict. Ukraine says drones play a key role in Russia's attacks on cities and infrastructure.
