MOSCOW, January 30. /TASS/. Moscow condemns the drone attack on Iran and Russian intelligence is trying their best to get a full picture of what happened, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Monday.

"Naturally, our services are analyzing information in order to get the more or less full picture of the incident," the Kremlin official said, replying to a question as to whether Russia has any intel as to who may have been behind the drone attack on Iran.
