Putin betrayed another ally

Journalists point out that it was Iran that helped Russia with Shahed kamikaze drones in the first year of its invasion of Ukraine.

In addition, he contributed to the construction of a crucial plant for the production of these drones in the Russian Federation.

We also cannot ignore the fact that in 2025, military cooperation between Moscow and Tehran was strengthened by a strategic partnership agreement.

Only 5 months after the signing of this agreement, the Iranian government is facing a serious threat to its rule from Israel. And Russia, apart from phone calls and condemnatory statements, is nowhere to be seen.

According to insiders, part of Putin's reluctance to provide critical assistance to Iran is due to the fact that Russian military forces are tied up in Ukraine.

Putin not only wants to improve relations with US President Donald Trump, but he also does not want Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.

Russia will also benefit from the jump in oil prices after the attack begins.
