Russia is about to conclude a deal with Iran, revealed Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Reuters and News.bg report.
In January, it was revealed that Russia and Iran were close to finalizing a new treaty, signaling an "unprecedented upsurge" in their bilateral relations.
Over the past few years, the two countries have grown closer, opposing what they perceive as a pernicious foreign policy of the United States. Their goal is to pave the way for a fairer, multipolar world order.
Relations between Russia and Iran have acquired new dimensions, especially since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine. Russia is seeking to strengthen its political, economic and military ties with Iran, a development that the US and Israel are watching with concern.
News of a major upcoming agreement between Moscow and Tehran was made in September 2022 during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
Raisi, known for his hardline stance and seen as a potential successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, tragically died in a helicopter crash in May.
