Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed gratitude to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, for the support Tehran received during the US-Israeli war and throughout years of sanctions imposed by Washington. The two leaders met side by side at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Kyrgyzstan, marking their first encounter since the US and Israel initiated their unprovoked assault on Iran back in February.
Pezeshkian conveyed his appreciation to Putin for his consistent stance throughout the conflict period and during regular times when the United States was imposing sanctions on Iran, both at the United Nations and in international forums. In response, Putin had previously assured Iran that Russia would continue to provide its support despite any threats from the US towards nations maintaining economic ties with Tehran.
