Russia: Comprehensive deal with Iran will include defense, security ties

Press TV – November 24, 2024

Russia’s deputy foreign minister says the treaty on a comprehensive strategic partnership between his country and Iran will include cooperation in the defense and security sectors.

Speaking to Russia’s TASS news agency on Sunday, Andrei Rudenko said he would not disclose the details of the agreement that is expected to be signed in the near future.

“I would only note [that] it will meet challenges and requirements of our time and cover almost all current and promising spheres of Russian-Iranian cooperation, including defense and security,” he added.

In 2001, Tehran and Moscow signed a long-term cooperation deal, officially known as the Treaty of the Foundation of Mutual Relations and the Principles of Cooperation. It was initially set for 10 years but was extended up until 2026.

Now, the two capitals are making final arrangements for the comprehensive partnership pact, which may determine their bilateral ties in all fields for the next 20 years.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has announced that his country will sign a strategic partnership agreement with Iran “in the near future.”
Rudenko emphasized that the nature of Iran-Russia interactions has notably changed over the past two decades.

“We are closely coordinating approaches with our Iranian friends and take necessary measures to strengthen peace and security” in the region, he added.

Last month, Iran’s Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali said the strategic partnership treaty would be signed during Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s visit to Moscow. The date of this visit has yet to be decided.

Iran and Russia are both subject to illegal Western sanctions. They have over the past years deepened their relations in various fields, including military and defense, and become close allies.

  1. Good to see the two explicitly anti-Satanic states getting together. Satanism is losing in Ukraine, losing in the Mideast (outside of Isra-hell’s sphere of influence, and losing in the West outside of ZOG’s sphere of influence (which is admittedly large, but Trump’s rise is a sign that it’s shrinking). Britain just seemingly threw the Judeofascists under the bus ( Even Starmer the Charmer Says He’ll Comply with Netanyahu Arrest Warrant, by Andrew Anglin – The Unz Review ) although being stiff-necks, they’re having a hell of a time coming to terms with their mistake of collaborating with the Synagogue of Satan).
