Iran and Russia are strategic partners with expanding ties, pointed out Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, calling for the swift implementation of existing agreements.

In a meeting with Sergei Shoigu, Secretary of Russia's National Security Council, Pezeshkian highlighted Moscow's support during challenging times for Tehran and underscored the importance of prioritizing relations with such a key ally in Iran’s foreign policy.

"We believe that the era of one-upmanship of some powers, including the United States, in the world is over," he stressed, highlighting that "cooperation between Iran and Russia to promote a multipolar world will definitely lead to further promotion of world security and peace."

Pezeshkian also condemned the atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation entity in the Gaza Strip, asserting that "the criminal acts of this regime against the oppressed and defenseless people of Gaza," as well as the assassination of Hamas' Political Bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh in Iran are clear violations of international laws and regulations.

On his part, Shoigu reiterated Russia's view of Iran as a key strategic ally in the region, affirming that both nations are working to "create a multipolar world and ensure the security of the region."

In turn, Shoigu expressed Russia's readiness for comprehensive cooperation with Iran on regional affairs.

The Russian diplomat also condemned Haniyeh's assassination, underlining that the perpetrators of this crime aim to escalate tensions in the region.
