TEHRAN – Foreign Minister Hussein Amir-Abdollahian has stressed that Iran has not provided Russia with any weapons for use in the war against Ukraine, reiterating the need for a political solution to the conflict.

Amir-Abdollahian held a telephone conversation with his Finnish counterpart Pekka Haavisto, saying “although some countries provided military support to Ukraine, we never sent and will never send any weapons to Russia for use in the war against Ukraine since we believe that the solution to this crisis is political and offering any arms support to the two sides delays the chance for peace.”
