A senior Iranian military official has firmly rejected allegations that Tehran is supplying missiles to Russia for use in the ongoing war in Ukraine, labeling the claims as "psychological warfare."

"No missile has been sent by Iran to Russia, and such claims are a kind of psychological warfare," said Fazlollah Nozari, Deputy Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, on Sunday.

Nozari reiterated Iran's neutral stance on the Ukraine conflict, stating that Tehran does not support any side in the war, which he emphasized lacks "legitimacy." He added that Iran believes the conflict serves no purpose and is unjustifiable.

Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations also responded to the Western accusations on Friday, stating that the Islamic Republic of Iran condemns any military assistance to parties involved in the Ukraine conflict, deeming such actions inhumane as they would exacerbate the damage to civilian lives and infrastructure.

Russia launched what it termed a "special military operation" in Ukraine in February 2022, citing concerns over NATO's eastward expansion and accusing the US-led alliance of pursuing an aggressive posture toward Moscow.

Iran’s stance has been closely watched amid Western allegations of its military involvement in the conflict, which Tehran continues to deny. (ILKHA)
