TEHRAN An Iranian security source has actually denied claims flowing in Turkish media regarding a supposed secret conference between Iranian officials and members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant group, identifying the report as entirely fabricated.The source, speaking with the Tehran Times, dismissed the accusations as baseless and a deliberate effort to sow discord and propagate incorrect narratives.Several Turkish media outlets, consisting of Yeni Safak, alleged Iranian authorities met PKK representatives in an Iraqi market, where the latter asked for 2,000 kamikaze drones.
Some outlets further declared IRGC Quds Force Commander Esmail Qaani existed.
These very same reports asserted that Iran accepted provide 1,500 drones for delivery to northern Iraq, however the shipment was canceled due to Turkish monitoring.
Turkish media also declared that Iran is now seeking option methods for delivery.PKK militants frequently clash with Turkish forces in the Kurdish-dominated southeast of Turkey connected to northern Iraq.
These claims are pure dream, the security source mentioned.
There was no such conference, no such agreement, and no such effort to deliver any drones.
The source further recommended the media report might become part of an intentional false information project by Israel focused on weakening Irans relationship with its next-door neighbors and producing tensions in the region.
We advise media outlets to work out higher caution and to verify the details before disseminating it.
Sensationalist and unfounded reporting just serves to damage regional stability and fuel unnecessary stress, the source added.Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan seemed to have bought into the misinformation throughout a conference previously this month.
When questioned about the report, Fidan informed domestic and worldwide media agents, Iran must refrain from supporting armed groups that are hostile to other nations, just as Turkey avoid supporting armed groups that act versus other nations.
