Hossein Amirabdollahian, Iran’s Minister of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

"We transferred a limited number of drones to Russia a few months before the war in Ukraine", he said.

At the same time, the minister of foreign affairs claims that Tehran allegedly kew nothing about the use of drones against Ukraine.

Amirabdollahian said if Kyiv has "any documents" that testify to Russia's use of Iranian drones, "they should provide them to us."

"If they prove to us that Russia used Iranian drones in war against Ukraine, we will not be indifferent to this issue", the minister said.

Iran’s top diplomat also assured that Tehran does not plan to deliver missiles to Russia on November 14.
