EU’s Borrell urges Iran to end arms deliveries to Russia
BERLIN (AA) – The EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has called on Iran to end its military support to Russia in the war against Ukraine.
“We insist on Iran to stop providing arms to Russia. Iran denies it but Ukrainians have been providing evidence of these drones,” Borrell said on the sidelines of the Group of Seven foreign ministers’ meeting in the western German city of Muenster.
His remarks came in the wake of statements by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg who had also expressed concern a day earlier.
“We also see that Iran is offering drones and considering supplying ballistic missiles to Russia,” said Stoltenberg, adding, “This is unacceptable. No country should support Moscow in this illegal war.”
A staunch ally of Moscow, Tehran has so far denied supplying arms to Russia.
