Annex «B» to this resolution specifically states that it prohibits the transfer by Iran of all items, materials, equipment, goods and technologies, unless they are approved in advance by the UN Security Council in each specific case. «The conflict in Ukraine is completely irrelevant to resolution 2231, both in content and form. And any activity in this regard is beyond the resolution and mandate of the secretariat,» the Iranian envoy said. «Iran firmly believes that none of its weapons, including UAVs, are exported to any country under paragraph 4 of Annex B of resolution 2231,» he concluded. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani on Monday denied the newly emerging information from the American media about the supply of Iranian weapons to the Russian side for use in hostilities in Ukraine.
