    Iran has not requested Russian arms supplies, Kremlin says

    -

    MOSCOW, March ‌5 (Reuters) - Iran has not approached ​Moscow with a request for arms supplies, ⁠the Kremlin said on Thursday.

    Russia has condemned U.S.-Israeli strikes and called ​for an immediate ceasefire against a country ‌it has drawn closer to in recent years.

    Iran last year sealed a 20-year ⁠strategic partnership agreement with ⁠Moscow, Russia is building two new nuclear units at Bushehr, the site of Iran's only nuclear power ‌plant, and Iran supplied Russia with shahed ⁠drones for use ‌against Ukraine.

    Asked by a ​reporter on Thursday whether Russia intends to provide material help to Iran, ‌including arms deliveries, Kremlin ​spokesman Dmitry ⁠Peskov told reporters:

    "In this case, there ‌were no ⁠requests from the Iranian side. Our consistent position is well known to everyone, ​and there ‌have been no changes in this regard."
