Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized recent attacks on Iran as “unprovoked” and “unjustified” during a meeting with Tehran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Monday, June 23 in Moscow.
Despite Russia being a key ally of Iran, Putin did not pledge any specific support for Iran in response to these attacks.
Russia has historically been a significant supporter of Iran in the Middle East.
The nature of the attacks or the parties responsible for them was not detailed in the meeting’s statements. The diplomatic interactions between Russia and Iran continue amidst ongoing tensions in the region.
