Kremlin Says Russia and Iran Continuing Work on Cooperation Pact, Schedule May Shift

MOSOCW/DUBAI (Reuters) - Moscow and Tehran are continuing their work on a comprehensive bilateral cooperation agreement, although the schedule of specific events may shift, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, adding Russia intended to develop ties with Iran.

Earlier Russia's RIA state news agency reported that the agreement had been temporarily suspended due to problems faced by Iranian partners, however Iran's ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali said this was not the case, according to a statement carried by Iran's official news agency IRNA.

Since the state of the war in Ukraine, Russia has moved to strengthen its political, trade and military ties with Iran in a deepening relationship that the United States and Israel view with concern.

Moscow and Tehran are pushing against what they see as damaging U.S. foreign policy and want to establish what they say would be a fairer multipolar world order.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) strikes again! This is what the SCO was set up for to facilitate these kinds of cooperation agreements. I expect more to come with other member states.

There is a LOT of overlap with the BRICS as well.

Russian definition of a fairer multipolar world order is their code for we get along till we topple America then we stab the others in the back to be the unipolar boss of the world.

I believe the habit of western nations and primarily the USA imposing sanctions on nation-states has and is playing a significant role in making these "new" relationships appealing to the participants.

It's speeding things up on purpose that way, I'm almost certain of it.
