Kremlin denies report Russia delivering drones to Iran: ‘Media lies’

The Kremlin has denied a report that Russia is delivering drones to Iran by claiming that the media were printing a lot of lies and people should not pay attention.

It comes after the Financial Times reported that Putin's nation is "close to completing a phased shipment of drones, medicine and food to Iran," citing Western intelligence reports.

Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday (26 March): "Nowadays, there are a lot of false information dumps in the mass media, and even the most respected media outlets do not hesitate to publish them. Please do not pay attention to them."
