Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a partnership treaty in Moscow, deepening ties between the two nations. The agreement, which comes days before President-elect Trump's inauguration, raises concerns among US officials who view the partnership as a threat to global security.
Two of America’s adversaries are solidifying their ties just days before President-elect Trump makes his historic return to the Oval Office. On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iran ian President Masoud Pezeshkian are meeting in Moscow to sign a partnership treaty. Pezeshkian, who won the presidency in Iran ’s July runoff election, is set to engage in talks with Putin and participate in the partnership pact-signing during his first trip to Moscow as president.
Amid sanctions from the US and its allies, Russia has deepened its ties with other anti-West nations, such as Iran and North Korea. In fact, Russia and Iran’s relationship has grown since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, which led to a yearslong war. President-elect Trump’s incoming special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Ret. Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg has already urged the US to return to the policy of 'maximum pressure' on Iran.
Despite the US and its allies’ fears about the treaty, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says the partnership pact should not be a cause of concern. 'This agreement, like our treaty with North Korea, is not directed against anyone,' Lavrov said, according to Sky News. In June, Putin met with North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang, where the two signed an aid pact that brought the two nations closer than ever since the fall of the Soviet Union.
We’ve seen Russia try, in desperation, to develop and to strengthen relations with countries that can provide it with what it needs to continue the war of aggression that it started against Ukraine,' US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at the time. He added that the US will 'do everything we can to cut off the support that countries, like Iran and North Korea, are providing.'
