Split in Iran over the supply of weapons to Russia

His statements were widely promoted by other Iranian newspapers.
At the same time, former Iranian Ambassador to the Russian Federation Nematollah Izadi suggested that there was no proper cooperation between the military and the Iranian Foreign Ministry, which is why the diplomatic department did not know about the supply of drones to Russia.
