MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia and Iran are free to develop bilateral military-technical cooperation unrestricted, provided it complies with the principles of non-proliferation and export controls, Russian Ambassador to Iran Levan Dzhagaryan said on Wednesday.
"I want to remind you that in October 2020, the sanctions imposed on Iran by the UN Security Council expired, so we no longer have any problems or restrictions with regard to our military-technical cooperation, as long as it complies with the norms of non-proliferation and export controls," Dzhagaryan told the Solovyov Live show on YouTube.
Russian President Vladimir Putin paid a working visit to Iran on Tuesday. He met with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei but did not discuss drones with either of them, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov told Sputnik.

Last week, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan alleged, without specifying his source or providing evidence, that Iran was considering supplying Russia combat drones. On Tuesday, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that the US had no indication that Iran had sold drones to Russia.
