Iran does not recognize the separation of Crimea and four regions of Ukraine and acknowledges the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. This was stated on TRT World by the head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Hossein Amir Abdollahian.

The Iranian Foreign Minister also mentioned that Iran does not pursue double standards and opposes the wars in Iraq, Yemen, Palestine, and Afghanistan, as well as the war in Ukraine.

“We recognize the sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries within the framework of international law, therefore, despite the excellent relations between Tehran and Moscow, we did not recognize the separation of Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk regions from Ukraine,” Abdollahian stated.

Abdollahian emphasized that Iran advocates for a political solution to the conflict.

“We have made many efforts to be mediators between Kyiv and Moscow at the level of foreign ministers and presidents, and we hope that peace will come to Ukraine soon and the war will end,” he added.

While the Iranian Foreign Minister spoke against the war in Ukraine and the annexation of its regions by Russia, it was previously reported that Iran supplied Russia with “Shahed-131” and “Shahed-136” drones, which are used by Russia to destroy critical infrastructure in Ukraine.
