Russia and Iran Combine Military Forces
World
January 17, 2025, Moscow — Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a 20-year strategic partnership agreement. Under the agreement, Russia and Iran will enhance cooperation in areas such as refraining from hostile actions against each other, strengthening security services, conducting military exercises, visiting naval ports, and jointly training officers.
The two sides agreed to act together against threats to each other's territories. However, the agreement does not include a mutual defense clause signed with North Korea.
Putin described this agreement as a significant new step in the relations between the two countries, focusing on strengthening economic cooperation and trade with Iran. He also emphasized the need for less bureaucracy and clear measures to counter Western sanctions against Iran and Russia.
Putin confirmed that Iran would continue to be informed about the situation in Ukraine and that both countries would continue consulting on events in the Middle East and South Caucasus.
Pezeshkian highlighted the agreement as an important step in defending the independence and sovereignty of both nations. He also referred to the agreement as another incentive to create a multipolar world and called for a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine.
The new alliance between Russia and Iran, particularly as they strengthen their influence in the Middle East, has caused widespread discussions in the West. The West is also concerned about Iran's participation in supplying weapons and drones to Russia, although Tehran denies these allegations.
