Excerpts:
President Putin: “Russia’s position on the current developments is well known. It has been clearly expressed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is reflected in the stance we’ve taken at the United Nations Security Council, with which you are already familiar. The completely unprovoked act of aggression against Iran is without foundation or justification. Russia has long-standing, strong, and trustworthy relations with Iran, and we are committed to supporting the Iranian people through our continued efforts.”
Foreign Minister Araghchi: As you mentioned, we share close and friendly relations, and in recent years, our bilateral ties have taken on a strategic character. We maintain regular consultations with our Russian colleagues on a wide range of global security issues. In the field of Iran’s nuclear programme, the Russian Federation has been a valuable partner, building the Bushehr nuclear power plant and supporting us in this area, including in the context of reaching nuclear agreements. Russia has played a constructive role in helping us secure important understandings.”
