Moscow sent humanitarian aid to Iran via Azerbaijan

Russia sent 300 tons of medical supplies to Iran via Azerbaijan. This is the second humanitarian shipment in recent memory.

According to The Financial Times, Western intelligence agencies suspect Moscow of secretly negotiating the supply of attack drones to Tehran. These discussions are believed to have intensified following the US and Israeli strikes on Iran, and preparations for the shipments may have begun in March.

Russian authorities, represented by Dmitry Peskov, categorically deny these reports, calling them "false propaganda." Concurrently, media reports have previously surfaced claiming that Russia is allegedly sharing intelligence with Iran, including data on US troop movements.
