According to The Iran Project, the three countries said that, despite their warnings of "new and significant measures against Iran" in case it sent missiles, "we now have confirmation that Iran has made these transfers".

The statement described the alleged transfer as a "further escalation of Iran's military support" to Russia, posing a "direct threat to European security" with the potential for Iranian missiles to reach European soil.

The three countries said they take immediate steps to cancel bilateral air services agreements with Iran.

They also plan to designate significant entities and individuals involved in Iran's ballistic missile program and the transfer of ballistic missiles and other weapons to Russia.

Additionally, they will work towards imposing sanctions on Iran Air, echoing a similar step taken by Washington.
The statement came despite Iran’s repeated denial of sending weapons to Russia for use in Ukraine.
Shortly before the joint announcement, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani said on X that "spreading false and misleading news about the transfer of Iranian weapons to some countries" was "ugly propaganda" and a lie.
