"No," Iran has not requested for the S-400 air defense systems, Borisov told Sputnik when asked whether Moscow had received a relevant request from Tehran.
Reacting to some media speculations over the matter, Borisov said, "Let them continue spreading [fake news]."
"Everything goes as it goes," the minister commented on cooperation between Russia and Iran.
In late-May, US-led Bloomberg reported, citing its sources, that Russia had refused to sell Iran its S-400 air defense systems, claiming that Russia explained its decision by saying that such a move would escalate tensions in the region.
Commenting on the report, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he did not have information about the alleged refusal.
