Regarding the
unfounded and unsubstantiated news that Iran has sold unmanned aerial
vehicles for the purpose of use in Ukraine’s conflict
The Islamic Republic of Iran
categorically rejects and strongly condemns
unfounded and unsubstantiated claims that it has sold unmanned aerial vehicles for
the purpose of use in Ukraine’s conflict. Such unfounded claims, which are solely
based on false flags and fabricated assumptions
, are nothing more than a
propaganda apparatus to further political agenda against Iran. In this regard, the
Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in good faith and in accordance with
its constructive approach toward the Ukraine crisis, stands ready
to engage
constructively in joint technical and expert cooperation to clarify the unfounded
accusations leveled against Iran.
Since the beginning of the crisis in Ukraine, the Islamic Republic of Iran has taken
a clear, consistent, and unwavering position,
emphasizing that all UN Member
States must fully respect the purposes and principles enshrined in the United
Nations Charter as well as international law, including sovereignty, independence,
unity, and territorial integrity. As
a country that has been co
nfronted with and
affected by the devastation caused by an imposed war, the Islamic Republic of Iran
opposes any conflict or war anywhere in the world.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently supported peace and ending the
conflict in Ukraine and urg
ed the parties to exercise restraint, avoid escalating
tensions, and engage in a meaningful process for addressing the root causes of the
situation and settling their disputes through peaceful means. It also urged the
parties to uphold their obligations un
der international humanitarian law and
conduct consultations to protect civilians and critical infrastructure from military
targets or attacks.
The Islamic Republic of Iran supports the United Nation’s ongoing efforts to find
a peaceful solution to this co
nflict. The United Nations should maintain objectivity
and impartiality in order to play a responsible and constructive role in the political
settlement of Ukraine’s conflict. Any action taken by the United Nations should
be truly conducive to easing the s
ituation and resolving the conflict, rather than
intensifying conflict and exacerbating confrontation.
The Islamic Republic of Iran will continue its constructive engagement to help the
peaceful resolution of this crisis.
