Iranian Foreign Minister to Fly to Russia, ‘Consult’ with President Putin After US Strikes
In a significant diplomatic development following heightened tensions in the Middle East, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian is set to visit Moscow for high-level consultations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The move comes in the wake of recent U.S. military strikes targeting Iranian-linked positions in the region, a development that has escalated already strained relations between Tehran and Washington.
According to sources within Iran’s Foreign Ministry, the visit aims to “coordinate strategic responses” and discuss regional security and military cooperation. The Iranian diplomat is expected to convey Tehran’s official stance and explore ways to deepen political and defense ties with the Kremlin in response to the perceived U.S. aggression.
Moscow and Tehran have maintained a growing alliance, particularly since the outbreak of the Ukraine war, with both nations facing Western sanctions and often aligning their foreign policy objectives. Analysts believe the meeting could pave the way for expanded military collaboration or joint statements condemning U.S. actions in the region.
As the situation continues to evolve, all eyes will be on the outcomes of this critical visit and its potential impact on the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East and beyond.
Stay tuned for further updates.
