JAKARTA - The Kremlin said on Thursday that Iran had not contacted Russia to request arms supplies.
The United States and Israel launched an attack on Israel on Saturday last week, killing hundreds of people, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a number of senior officials of the State of the Mullahs.
Russia is known to condemn the attack, calling for an immediate ceasefire against a country that has grown closer to it in recent years.
When asked by a reporter on Thursday whether Russia intended to provide material assistance to Iran, including arms shipments, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters:
"In this case, there was no request from the Iranian side. Everyone knows our consistent position, and there is no change in this regard," Peskov explained, launching Al Arabiya from Reuters (5/3).
Last year, Iran signed a 20-year strategic partnership agreement with Moscow, Russia is building two new nuclear units in Bushehr, Iran's only nuclear power plant, and Iran is supplying Russia with Shahed drones for use against Ukraine.
