Peskov urged the public to disregard such reports, insisting there was no basis to the claims.
The Financial Times had earlier cited Western intelligence sources as saying Moscow was close to completing a shipment of drones to Tehran, with delivery expected before the end of March.

Despite its close ties with Iran, Russia has consistently denied providing direct military assistance since the United States and Israel began strikes on Iran in February.
Meanwhile, a separate report by The Washington Post earlier this month alleged that Moscow had shared sensitive intelligence with Tehran, including information on the positions of US warships and military aircraft operating in the region.
