The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied, on Monday, a media report that an arms shipment confiscated en route to Yemen was from Iran.
“The report is baseless and is aligned with efforts to wage propaganda against the Islamic Republic at a time when US officials are visiting the region,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baqaei said in a statement.
He added, ” Iran has no military presence in Yemen and that the weapons that are being used in the country have nothing to do with the Islamic Republic.”
