‘Fake news’: Russia dismisses report on sharing drone technology with Iran

The Kremlin on Wednesday rejected a Wall Street Journal report claiming that Russia is sharing satellite imagery and advanced drone technology with Iran, calling the report "fake news".

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied the allegations when asked about the report, which cited people familiar with the matter.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Russia has been expanding intelligence sharing and military cooperation with Iran, including providing satellite imagery and improved drone technology to support Tehran’s targeting of U.S. forces in the region.

The Kremlin’s response comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and growing scrutiny of military ties between Moscow and Tehran.
