Iran supports the ongoing efforts to find a peaceful solution to this conflict. In this regard, our Foreign Minister contacted his counterparts from both sides on several occasions, Iravani added. Iran categorically rejects unfounded claims that Iran has transferred UAVs for use in the conflict in Ukraine; Iravani said: "Some Western States are trying to launch a disinformation campaign against Iran and make misleading interpretations of Security Council Resolution 2231too wrongly establish a link between their baseless allegations against Iran with this Resolution."

Iran emphasizes that the issues surrounding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine are entirely irrelevant to Resolution 2231, both in substance and form. Any activity in this regard falls outside the scope of the Resolution and the Secretariat's mandate.

Moreover, Iran believes that none of its arms exports, including UAVs, to any country falls within the provision of Paragraph 4 of Annex B to resolution 2231.

The Islamic Republic of Iran will continue its constructive engagement to help the peaceful Resolution of conflict in Ukraine, Iravani concluded.
