MOSCOW — The presidents of Russia and Iran held talks in the Kremlin on Friday before signing a broad cooperation pact.
After laying a wreath at the Unknown Soldier's Tomb at the Kremlin Wall, Pezeshkian was to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. It’s their third meeting since Pezeshkian’s election in July. Russia and Iran, which had troubled relations in the past, developed cordial ties after the 1991 Soviet collapse, with Moscow emerging as a key trade partner and supplier of weapons and technologies for Tehran, which has faced bruising international sanctions.
Russia’s ties with Iran have grown even closer after Putin sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022. Ukraine and the West have accused Tehran of providing Moscow with hundreds of exploding drones for use against Ukraine, which Moscow and Tehran have denied.
