"What has been raised and published by some infamous cells and certain media about the transfer of Iranian missiles to Iraq is a nonsensical statement and sheer lie," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Saturday, Press TV reported.
"The report is solely aimed at creating fears among regional countries" and is in line with Iranophobic policies, he added.
The Iranian spokesperson emphasized that such "totally false and ridiculous” reports have no purpose but to “affect Iran's foreign relations, particularly ties with its neighbors."
Qassemi's remarks came a day after Reuters, in an exclusive report, quoted unnamed sources as claiming that Iran has given ballistic missiles to Shia fighters in Iraq and is developing the capability to build more there to deter attacks on its interests in the Middle East.
The report alleged that Iran has transferred short-range ballistic missiles to its allies in Iraq over the last few months.
The Islamic Republic's missile program and its regional presence has been the target of intensified Western propaganda over the past few months.
