The Kremlin has said that a report in the Financial Times that it was close to completing a shipment of drones to Iran was “lies”.

“There are so many lies being spread by the media… Do not pay attention to them,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in response to an AFP question.

The Financial Times, which published the report yesterday, cited Western intelligence officials as saying that Russia was in the process of delivering drones to Tehran and would complete the shipments by the end of March.
