Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian are set to meet in Moscow this Friday to sign a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement, marking a significant step in the deepening relationship between the two nations. The Kremlin announced the forthcoming treaty on Monday, emphasizing its importance in expanding bilateral cooperation across various sectors.  

 

"On 17 January, Vladimir Putin will hold talks with the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian, who will come to Moscow on an official visit," stated the Kremlin. "Following the talks, Vladimir Putin and Masoud Pezeshkian will sign the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Russia and Iran."  

 

This agreement aims to strengthen ties in areas such as trade, investment, transport, logistics, and humanitarian efforts, while also addressing regional and international issues. It is also expected to solidify the military and political alliance between Moscow and Tehran, furthering a partnership that has grown notably since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.  

 

Iran has played a key role in supporting Russia's military operations in Ukraine by supplying Shahed drones, which have been used to attack civilian infrastructure and power facilities. The deepening cooperation between the two nations highlights their shared interests in countering Western influence and building a more unified front against perceived external threats.  

 

The signing of the treaty has been in the works for several months. In October, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov hinted that the agreement would soon be finalized, and in December, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson confirmed that the deal was on track for completion by the end of January.  

 

The partnership follows a pattern of Russia strengthening its alliances with other nations outside Western influence. Last June, Putin signed a similar agreement with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which included mutual commitments to military support in the event of aggression.  

 

The upcoming treaty with Iran signals an increasing alignment between Moscow and Tehran in their efforts to navigate international sanctions and isolation. Both nations face significant pressure from Western powers, and this partnership offers a way to bolster their political, economic, and military resilience.  

 

The signing of the agreement will likely further consolidate the growing ties between Russia and Iran, signaling their intent to collaborate closely in shaping regional dynamics and countering shared challenges on the global stage.

The baddies coming together. Russia, North Korea and now Iran which is the head of its own axis of evil, all with a strategic partnership agreement. The one with NK means a defense agreement  should one of their countries get attacked, similar to the NATO article 5. One of the reasons NK soldiers are now helping Russia fight Ukraine in the Kursk region.

 

Now what happens if the west decides to strike Iranian nuclear facilities?

Yeah they seem like likely partners, they're both nations that have  serial killing leadership, and police, they both possess a total and complete moral bankruptcy that stretches throughout all ranks of government, and in the case of Iran the entire clergy.
