'Our policy in the Islamic Republic of Iran has been in having good neighborly relations with all countries in the region,' Raisi told Newsweek.
General Assembly high week, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi surprised those in attendance—and apparently his staff—by telling the journalists they could quote his remarks, contradicting the terms of the invitation to the event.
Raisi acknowledged that the Iran-Russia relations"encompass a multitude of angles, from economic cooperation and development, and event cooperation, to cultural exchanges, to research," but he emphasized that each of these dynamics"predates the Ukraine war." He argued that no documents have ever been produced to support the allegations that Iran has provided Russia with such weapons since the onset of the conflict more than a year and a half ago.
He argued that Washington, on the other hand, was playing a destabilizing role by supplying Kyiv with large amounts of military aid. China and a group of six African heads of state are among those who have made overtures to both sides in a bid to bring an end to a conflict that has ravaged Ukraine.
