Iran claims that country is not Russian-Ukrainian war participant 

This is reported by Xinhua publication.

"Iran is not a part of the conflict in Ukraine, and baseless accusations against Iran will not help solve the issue," he said.

He claims officials of Iran and Ukraine exchanged views on the accusations, and no one could find evidence.

"Iran's defense cooperation (with other countries) is based on common interests and is carried out in compliance with international laws and regulations," Kanaani stated, adding that defense cooperation between Iran and Russia was carried out until February 24, 2022.

He noted that the Ukrainian authorities should stop making "baseless and false accusations" against Iran, but consider appropriate ways to resolve the crisis.

• After Zelenskyy's speech in December 2022 in the United States, Iran warned that the patience for baseless accusations and obscene statements is not unlimited.

• Subsequently, the Iranian Foreign Ministry threatened Ukraine with legal consequences for accusing Tehran of supplying drones to Russia.

• Already on December 29, 2022, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Andriy Yusov noted that there are preliminary agreements on the supply of Iranian ballistic missiles to Russia, but not everyone in Iran wants to help Putin.
