MADRID, 11 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Iranian government has confirmed to the United Nations that it has completed the purchase of a consignment of Russian Sukhoi fighter jets, the culmination of a process initiated before the imposition of sanctions on Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine.

The Islamic republic has been accused of collaborating with the Russian war effort by sending drones to Kremlin forces, but Tehran has assured that the devices were provided before the outbreak of the conflict.

Iran's permanent mission to the UN has emphasized this aspect and stressed that the game was negotiated within the framework of the international coalition formed by Russia, Iran and Syria to fight against the armed opposition and jihadist groups in the war in the latter. country.

"This bilateral cooperation has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine because there is no type of military cooperation between Iran and Russia in that country," the mission to the UN said in a statement collected by the official Iranian news agency IRNA. .

Furthermore, the approval of this batch of Sukhoi Su-35 aircraft was granted by the Iranian authorities in October 2020, also before the conflict and after the end of the sanctions against Iran to prevent the acquisition of conventional weapons.
