Islamic Republic of Iran Embassy in Romania denies transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia in context of war in #Ukraine

October 9, 2024

The Islamic Republic of Iran Embassy in Romania categorically rejects the information published in recent days about the transfer of short-range ballistic missiles to Russia for use in the war in Ukraine, deeming them as unfounded, in a press release sent on Tuesday.According to the source, it is a repetition of previously discredited accusations. "Such accusations devoid of credible evidence are a clear example of disinformation".The Embassy describes as "both ironic and hypocritical" the fact that these "baseless" accusations are made by "countries directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine and which are contributing significantly to its escalation by supplying advanced weaponry"."Since the beginning of the crisis in Ukraine, the Islamic Republic of Iran has never been a party to the war and military conflict," insists the embassy, which says Tehran sees these accusations as "merely narrow and short-sighted political agendas aimed at promoting its own political interests"."Iran continues to call for a peaceful resolution through dialogue and diplomatic means, emphasizing the need for an immediate ceasefire and constructive negotiations to put an end to the suffering of the people affected by this tragic war," pointed out the Iranian Embassy in Romania.The Embassy's reaction comes in the context in which in recent days international press agencies have published official statements on the subject, after CNN and the Wall Street Journal wrote last week that Iran transferred short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, citing unidentified sources.The United States, through White House National Security Council Spokesperson Sean Savett, expressed concern last Friday about the potential transfer of Iranian missiles to Russia. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry expressed its deep concern about this information on Saturday, and on Monday a European Commission spokesperson said that the European Union considered the information provided by its allies "credible" and would examine the matter with member states.
