“UAVs were not discussed with either the president or the supreme leader,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Earlier, National Security Adviser to the President of the United States, Jake Sullivan, said that Iran plans to arrange for the delivery of several hundred drones to Russia, including those capable of carrying weapons.
The US State Department has warned Iran of sanctions if this happens.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin would not discuss the purchase of drones in Tehran.
