(RIA Novosti) - Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov denied Friday U.S. media reports that Iranian missile specialists were trained at an aerospace university in southern Russia.
"We checked this information and confirmed it was a hoax," Ivanov, who is also deputy prime minister, told a news conference, reports Trend.
He said that it was a clear example of purposefully politicizing the issues of real cooperation in efforts to combat the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
