Strengthening Relations Between Tehran and Moscow

Donyaye Eghtesad: The war between the United States and Israel against Iran has brought Tehran's perspective on Moscow into a new phase. Russia, which was considered an unreliable partner in some political and social circles in Iran, is now seen as a more important player in military support, rebuilding defensive capabilities, and strengthening Iran's deterrence than ever before. Chatham House, in a report, examines this transformation and attributes it to a change in Iran's security calculations following the war; although it assesses that the proximity of the two countries does not mean that all doubts about Moscow have been resolved.
