moscow, russia - Russia and Iran have decided to enhance their current cooperation through a 20-year 'Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement', focusing on economic and political collaboration.

Russia and Iran Strengthen Ties

Russia and Iran have signed a 20-year agreement to deepen their alliance, aiming to support each other's interests on the global stage. The new partnership emphasizes economic and political cooperation against Western pressures but falls short of a mutual defense pact. Despite expectations, there is no provision similar to NATO's Article 5 for mutual military assistance in case of an attack.

Ceremony at the Kremlin

The signing ceremony took place at the Kremlin, where Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi highlighted the importance of the agreement in navigating the changing global landscape. The 47-article agreement aims to protect the interests of both countries in the international arena, emphasizing cooperation within the frameworks of the UN, BRICS, and regional partnerships.

Absence of a Mutual Defense Clause

Contrary to speculations, the partnership agreement between Russia and Iran does not include a mutual defense clause similar to NATO's Article 5. The agreement focuses on continued general military cooperation between the two nations, without committing to mutual military assistance in case of an attack.

Focus on the Caspian Sea

The agreement between Russia and Iran foresees extensive economic collaboration, with the Caspian Sea, South Caucasus region, and energy resources being key areas of cooperation. The division of the Caspian Sea among the five littoral states in 2018 revealed significant reserves of oil and natural gas, estimated at approximately 18 billion tons and 4 billion tons, respectively. With the new agreement, potential objections to oil and gas pipelines across the Caspian Sea may emerge between Russia and Iran.
