MOSCOW – A senior Russian official on Wednesday rejected claims made by The Wall Street Journal regarding alleged military technology sharing between Moscow and Tehran.
Dmitry Peskov, who serves as the Kremlin’s chief spokesperson, dismissed the newspaper’s report as “fake news” during a Wednesday statement. The Wall Street Journal had published an article Tuesday alleging that Russia has been providing Iran with satellite data and enhanced drone capabilities.
According to the newspaper’s Tuesday report, which cited unnamed sources with knowledge of the situation, Moscow has been expanding its intelligence collaboration and military partnership with Iran. The report claimed this cooperation includes providing satellite imagery and upgraded drone technology that helps Tehran target American military personnel stationed throughout the region.
