The head of the department, James Cleverley, claims that in exchange, Russia allegedly "transfers sophisticated military technologies to Iran, advises it and provides it with financial support"
LONDON, June 9. /tass/. British Foreign Minister James Cleverley believes that Iran is engaged in the supply of arms and ammunition to Russia.
According to him, quoted by Sky News on Friday, "Iran provides a stable flow to Russia of weapons and ammunition that are used" in the conflict in Ukraine. "In exchange, Russia," according to the minister, allegedly "transfers sophisticated military technologies to Iran, advises it and provides it with financial support, which it can use to threaten "British partners" in the Middle East and suppress protests." Cleverley assured that London will continue to "call to account this desperate [Russian-Iranian] alliance."
Moscow and Tehran have repeatedly rejected allegations of Russian supplies of Iranian drones and other weapons for their use in Ukraine. The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov called such messages stuffing and stressed that the Russian army uses aircraft of domestic production. In November 2022, the Iranian Foreign Minister said that the republic had supplied drones to Russia, but in small quantities and a few months before the start of a special military operation in Ukraine.
