Iran’s foreign minister said that Russia and China are providing Tehran with military assistance as part of a broader strategic partnership amid ongoing tensions with the United States and Israel.

“In the past we had close cooperation, which continues to this day, and this also includes military assistance,” Araghchi said.

According to Politico, Araghchi described Russia and China as strategic partners for Tehran as tensions continue between Iran, the United States, and Israel.

His remarks come as geopolitical friction in the Middle East remains high following the escalation involving Iran and Western-backed regional actors.

Iran has supplied Russia with Shahed drones that Moscow has used during its war against Ukraine.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had transferred drones and intelligence to Iran that were later used in attacks on US military facilities in the Middle East. »
