moscow, russia - Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian visits Moscow to intensify strategic cooperation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, raising concerns in the West.

Iran and Russia Strengthen Strategic Alliance

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian visited his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Moscow to enhance strategic cooperation between the two countries. The alliance, spanning twenty years, between these two states has raised significant concerns in the Western world.

Importance of the Visit

Prior to the visit, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov described the signing of a treaty between the two leaders as a 'very important event' for Russia. In Iran, Pezeshkian's state visit was considered a 'strategic turning point'.

Focus on Trade and Finance

Russia and Iran, both facing substantial Western sanctions, prioritize cooperation in trade and finance in their agreement. Moscow has expressed interest in constructing a railway through Iran to directly connect Russia to ports on the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, Iran aims to become a key transit point for Russian gas.

Military Dimensions

The agreement is expected to encompass military cooperation as well. However, the Iranian ambassador to Moscow, Kazem Jalali, clarified that there is no mutual defense clause involved, as seen in Russia's agreements with Minsk and Pyongyang. Iran emphasizes its sovereignty and security, stating its disinterest in joining any bloc.

Roadmap for the Future

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi views the treaty as a 'roadmap towards the future'. While defense and security cooperation are part of the agreement, it is comprehensive and not solely focused on military alliance.

Concerns and Geopolitical Ramifications

The alliance between Iran and Russia, perceived as malevolent actors on the global stage by the West, is seen as a response to perceived Western aggression. With the potential return of Donald Trump to the White House, pressure may increase to isolate Iran further. The recent fall of Assad's regime in Syria has also weakened Tehran's position in the region.

Iran's willingness to approach Russia stems from various geopolitical concerns, including fear of Trump's administration, Israel, and the loss of allies like Assad and Hezbollah. Moscow's ability to exploit these fears is noted, with an asymmetric partnership where Russia positions itself as the dominant power.
