The Pentagon said on Tuesday that it did not have information at this time to corroborate reports that Iran has promised to provide Russia with surface-to-surface missiles, along with more drones.

"I don't have any information to corroborate that at this time," Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Patrick Ryder said at a press conference.

Reuters reported that a deal was agreed on Oct. 6 when Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber, two senior officials from Iran's Revolutionary Guard corps, and an official from the Supreme National Security Council visited Moscow for talks with Russia about the delivery of the weapons.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Nasser Kanaani, earlier said that the country had not sent any weapons to any side of Ukraine's war.
