What the Iranian President’s statement on russian aggression means
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the Islamic Republic does not support russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
◽️ He once again denied supplying ballistic missiles to russia, a possible transfer that had previously been reported by the United States.
◽️ These “peaceful” statements by Iranian officials are likely an attempt to ease sanctions on Iran by seeking negotiations with European and American leaders, as Pezeshkian himself mentioned.
◽️ The Center previously reported that the ongoing war in Ukraine benefits Iran, as it diverts US attention.
Moreover, the war has strengthened cooperation between Iran and russia in areas such as cyber operations, technology exchange for nuclear weapons development, and the possible provision of russian aircraft to Iran.
