Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi landed in Moscow for urgent talks with President Putin after the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, which have sharply raised regional tensions. The visit highlights the deepening “strategic partnership” between Iran and Russia, with both countries regularly consulting and coordinating on major issues, especially as Russia plays a key role in the UN Security Council and the former nuclear deal (JCPOA) negotiations.
This meeting comes as Iran’s parliament threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz—a vital oil route—while Houthi rebels, Iran’s allies, warn of attacks on U.S. ships in the Red Sea. The Russia-Iran alliance, dating back to 1521, is now more crucial than ever, as both nations stand together against U.S. policies in the region. The world is watching closely to see what support Moscow might offer Tehran and how this could impact the escalating crisis.
