“We have no indication that the sale actually took place.. There is also no indication that an exercise was being conducted,"

“However, Iran has the capacity to produce drones domestically, and these drones have deadly capabilities.. We could be convinced of this by the example of attacks in Iraq and Syria against our troops and our facilities there..

So we are following it closely and taking it seriously,” he added..

Earlier it was reported that the Russian delegation visited the Kashan airfield in central Iran at least twice in the last month, where they studied the Shahed-191 and Shahed-129 drones..

The United States warned that it would impose new sanctions on Iran if Tehran decides to help Russia in the war against Ukraine.

Iran denied the possibility of supplying Russia with UAVs.
