By KYIV. Dec 22 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Speaker of the Iranian Foreign Ministry Nasser Kanaani has condemned "repeated accusations and rude remarks" by the President of Ukraine against the Islamic Republic of Iran at the US Congress.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s website, Kanaani said that Iran had repeatedly responded to "baseless accusations" regarding drones made by Ukrainian officials against the Islamic Republic. According to him, the Islamic Republic of Iran did not supply any military equipment to either side for use in the war in Ukraine.
"The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman also noted that Iran has always respected the territorial integrity of all countries including Ukraine and that ‘Mr. Zelensky had better know that Iran’s strategic patience over such unfounded accusations is not endless,’" the statement notes.
Kanaani also "advised the Ukrainian president to draw a lesson from the fate of some other political leaders who contented themselves with the US support."
Previously, airstrikes on Ukrainian infrastructure facilities were repeatedly recorded using Iranian Shahed-136 drones.
The latest strike on Monday brought down 30 of the 34 drones.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier that Iran had delivered 250 drones to Russia in the latest shipment.
