Moscow and Tehran have repeatedly denied reports and statements about deliveries of Iranian drones to Russia and spoke about the lack of evidence. “As usual, everything is in the style of highly likely (“very likely”). They cannot give facts, and they don’t try,” Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said about the accusations of the West in December 2022.

In November 2022, the Iranian authorities admitted that they had delivered a limited number of drones to Russia, but they did so even before the start of hostilities.

Western countries have imposed sanctions against Iranian drone manufacturers. Ukraine also introduced restrictions against Tehran , and high-ranking military personnel were blacklisted.
