Iran Denies Providing Russia with Ballistic Missiles

Iran denied today, Friday, that it had supplied Russia with ballistic missiles, after the United States stated that there would be a strict international response to such an action. Iran's mission to the United Nations stated, "Although there are no legal restrictions on the sale of ballistic missiles, Iran is morally committed not to sell weapons in the Russia-Ukraine conflict to prevent exacerbating the war." It added, "This is rooted in Iran's commitment to international law and the United Nations Charter." The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden warned Iran yesterday, Thursday, that the international community would respond "quickly and harshly" if the Islamic Republic provided Russia with ballistic missiles.
