Iran and Russia Discuss Iran's Nuclear Deal...

Russian President Vladimir Putin meets Ali Larijani, senior aide to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in Moscow to discuss escalating tensions in West Asia and Iran’s nuclear programme. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov says Larijani conveyed Iran’s perspective on the regional crisis. Putin assures support for de-escalation, reaffirming Russia’s backing for Iran’s civil nuclear rights under IAEA oversight. Although their strategic treaty excludes military aid, both nations agree to avoid supporting aggressors and commit to urgent political dialogue during crises. Larijani previously played a key role in shaping the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA).
