Tajikistan rejects blogger’s claim Iranian drones were produced on its territory
ISTANBUL (AA) – Tajikistan has rejected a Ukrainian blogger’s claim that Iranian drones were produced on its territory and were later used by Russia in Ukraine.
“We refute the words of Ukrainian blogger Dmitry Gordon, voiced by him on October 28, 2022, during an online program about the production of drones ‘killing Ukrainians’ by the Iranian side on the territory of Tajikistan,” the Tajik Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Facebook.
“We recommend that Mr. Gordon carefully approach such comments in the future and check the accuracy of the information distributed,” the ministry said.
Citing US and European officials, Western media outlets have reported that Iran has agreed to supply drones and surface-to-surface missiles to Russia intended for use in the Ukraine war.
Last week, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said that Washington has “abundant evidence” that Russia is using Iran-made military drones to attack Ukraine.
Iran has rejected claims that it is supplying domestically manufactured drones to Russia.
