JAKARTA - Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that his party did not supply any weapons to Iran because there was never a request.
"Iran did not ask us for weapons and we also did not supply any weapons to Iran," Putin said at the 2026 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) summit.
Putin said Iran was able to maintain internal stability and its society had become more consolidated since the conflict broke out.
"We must appreciate Iran's leadership. They have ensured the internal stability of their society and this is a clear fact. After the war, some parties in the West thought that everything in Iran would collapse from within. But no, the assessment was wrong; because on the contrary, the situation that occurred was the consolidation of the Iranian society," said Putin.
He added that the willingness of millions of Iranians who sacrificed their lives for their homeland must also be taken into account.
SPIEF 2026 took place in St. Petersburg, Russia, from Wednesday (3/6) to Saturday.
