Putin Praises Iran’s ‘Courage and Resilience’ Amid War With US, Pledges Support
Putin praised Iran’s resistance amid its ongoing war with the US and said Moscow was providing Tehran with “necessary assistance” and supplies as the two deepen their strategic partnership.
Russian President Vladimir Putin commended Iran's "courage and resilience" during its ongoing conflict with the United States, assuring Tehran of Moscow's support during a "difficult period." Speaking to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Kyrgyzstan, Putin expressed admiration for Iran's "independence struggle" and pledged to provide necessary supplies.
He also requested Pezeshkian to share Putin's "brotherly support" with Iran's supreme leader. Despite the turbulent military and political landscape, Putin emphasized that Russia and Iran are maintaining economic relations and cooperation through their comprehensive strategic partnership. Iran's leaders thanked Putin for Russia's backing amidst US sanctions and aggression, highlighting the strategic nature of their relationship.
Since the war's onset following US-Israeli strikes on Iran's supreme leader, Iran has retaliated with regional attacks while imposing a naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. A recent ceasefire has brought intermittent ceasefires, but the situation remains uncertain.
