Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin visited Iran this week amid blossoming ties between the two countries. Iran has provided Russia with drones for its war in Ukraine, and Russia has become more closely linked to Iran. The two countries have had decades of ties, but their increasing warmth is due to their shared anti-Western views. Russia’s ties with Iran have also empowered it to be more destabilizing in its regional role, backing proxies to attack Israel.
On Saturday, Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali told Iranian state media IRNA that the planned trip by Mishustin was “aimed at enhancing bilateral relations and following up on existing agreements between the two sides.” He said, “This visit is very important and could create significant momentum in Iran-Russia economic relations.”
Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran’s new president, recently returned from the UN General Assembly in New York, and he used that trip as a diplomatic offensive. “We will witness an expansion of ties with Russia,” the Iranian ambassador said.
Jalali mentioned various files that the two countries are working on. For instance, the CEO of Russia’s state gas company, Gazprom, recently visited Tehran
