Russia’s reaction to baseless statements on cooperation with Tel Aviv against Iran – Mehr News Agency | Iranian and world news

“Maria ZakharovaA spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry denied that Moscow had provided military intelligence to Israel to attack Iran, saying that the malicious efforts (Iran -Russia relations) are doomed to failure.

He said about some of the news that Russia provided military intelligence to Israel before the recent Israeli attacks on Iran: “Obviously those who have published the news and have exaggerated in such information are both Russian and Iranian enemies; We also see this false news in the West as well.

Zakharova He said that such incorrect information is published periodically and Tehran should condemn such efforts. We have already seen this principled evaluation from Tehran. We think that such rumors have been raised to divert strategic and comprehensive cooperation between Iran and Russia, and it is not unlikely that one of its goals will be to discredit Russian support for its neighbor and southern friend in defending its legitimate rights and national interests.

A spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that Russian and Iranian presidents Vladimir Putin and Massoud Mediian, in a recent phone call, repeated their countries‘ commitment to “expanding bilateral cooperation”.

Recently, former Deputy Foreign Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammed Sadr said that “Russia may have provided Israel with information about Iran’s air defense systems.”

Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baqaei responded to a question from Mehr reporter about the claim by Mohammad Sadr on some foreign policy-related issues: Mr. Sadr is one of our retired diplomats and a retired colleagues, and his views and analysis- as well as his personal opinion.
