Responding to questions from journalists, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow would not comment on reports claiming that Russia had transferred intelligence information to Iran.

"We do not comment on them in any way,” Peskov said.

The presidential spokesman also declined to clarify whether the topic was discussed during the recent phone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump.

"We have already said everything we wanted to about the content of the conversation,” Peskov added.
