TEHRAN – The Iranian foreign ministry has dismissed that an Iranian serviceman has been training Russian military forces on Ukrainian soil, calling the claim “baseless”.
Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani reiterated Iran’s opposition to war, reiterated the need to halt the conflict and peacefully resolve disputes between Russia and Ukraine.
“Such baseless claims are made with specific political motives and objectives,” he said, adding the accusations contradict Iran’s principled approach to the conflict in Ukraine.
His remarks came after Ukraine’s prosecutor general said a case had been opened against a general of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on suspicion of aiding Russia in the war with Ukraine.
Iran has repeatedly and categorically refuted the accusation of involvement in the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
