Reports suggest that Iran has supplied Russia with short-range ballistic missiles, which are expected to aid Russia's efforts to destroy Ukraine's civilian infrastructure. US and European officials have confirmed this information, while Iran has denied providing the weapons, releasing a statement through its permanent mission to the UN.

Nasser Kanaani
Iranian Foreign Ministry
1. Iran's accusers are the ones who are among the biggest arms exporters to one side of the war.
2. We strongly reject allegations about Iran's role in sending weapons to one side of the war and we assess these allegations as politically motivated by some parties.
Dmitry Peskov
Kremlin
1. We have seen this report; it is not every time that this kind of information is true.
2. Iran is our important partner. We are developing our trade and economic relations. We are developing our cooperation and dialogue in all possible areas, including the most sensitive ones, and will continue to do so in the interests of the peoples of our two countries.
Peter Stano
European Union
1. The EU leaders' unanimous position has always been clear. The European Union will respond swiftly and in coordination with international partners, including with new and significant restrictive measures against Iran.
2. We are looking further into it with our member states and if confirmed, this delivery would represent a substantive material escalation in Iran's support for Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine.
3. We are aware of the credible information provided by allies on the delivery of Iranian ballistic missiles to Russia.
Ukraine Foreign Ministry
1. Iran must completely and definitively stop providing weapons to Russia in order to prove with actions, not words, the sincerity of its political leadership's statements about non-involvement in fueling the Russian war machine of death.
Andrey Yermak
Ukraine Government
1. In response to the supply of ballistic missiles to Russia, Ukraine must be allowed to destroy warehouses storing these missiles with Western weapons in order to avoid terror.
Sean Savett
White House National Security Council
1. Any transfer of Iranian ballistic missiles to Russia would represent a dramatic escalation in Iran's support for Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and lead to the killing of more Ukrainian civilians.
2. We have been warning of the deepening security partnership between Russia and Iran since the outset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and are alarmed by these reports.
