Earlier, the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, citing unnamed sources in Western intelligence agencies have published information according to which Iran in violation of UN security Council resolutions allegedly ferried for maintenance to Russia via Syria, some components of heavy offensive weapons.
The first Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on defense and security, Senator Franz Klintsevich announced that Russia at the time, trained professionals in Iran, is able to serve the Russian military equipment. “This training was provided by the contracts for the supply of equipment,” he said.
In turn, Director of the Center for analysis of world arms trade (TSAMTO) Igor Korotchenko said that the publication Welt am Sonntag is not true. “It’s a fake information, designed to portray Russia and Iran violators of the well-known resolutions of the UN Security Council. In the military-technical contacts with Tehran, Moscow strictly adheres to the resolutions,” he said.
