Iran’s foreign minister has flatly denied the US claims.
“We assess that the official Russian delegation recently received a demonstration of an attack-capable UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) from Iran… To our knowledge, this is the first time the Russian delegation has visited the airfield for such a show,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan’s statement also included satellite imagery dated June 8 which it said showed an Iranian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ‘seen by a Russian government delegation that day’.
Sullivan said similar equipment was shown during the second visit of Russian officials to an Iranian airfield on July 5.
