RTVE NoticiasThis Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi met in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking the first visit by a high-ranking official from the Islamic Republic since the start of the latest US and Israeli bombing campaign.
Following this visit, the Iranian regime seeks greater support from its other major ally, alongside China. In his remarks, Putin condemned the attacks launched by Washington and Tel Aviv as acts of aggression, and also recognized the “courageous and heroic” struggle of the Iranian people for “their independence and sovereignty.”
The visit comes as negotiations with the United States remain stalled amid what Tehran calls “excessive demands” from the US administration. The visit to Moscow follows trips to Pakistan and Oman in what appears to be an attempt to revive indirect diplomacy after the cancellation of talks scheduled for last Saturday.
Against this backdrop, Putin has declared that his country “will do everything possible to restore peace in the Middle East.” His intelligence support for Iran during the conflict has been revealed as key to attacks on US bases.
