Iran has not requested Russian arms supplies, Kremlin says
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed no arms requests from Iran despite their 20-year strategic partnership and ongoing regional conflict escalation.
- On Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Iran has not approached Moscow with arms requests and Russia's position remains unchanged.
- Against that backdrop, Moscow condemned US-Israeli strikes on Iran and urged an immediate ceasefire, while Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia denounced the attacks amid expanded ties including a 20-year strategic partnership and Bushehr nuclear cooperation.
- Analysts note Russia is unlikely to actively intervene despite close ties, as intelligence sharing and missile transfers reflect selective cooperation, while Tehran remains skeptical but expects some support.
- Observers warn Iran's lack of support may fracture ties, and Julian Waller said, 'If oil and gas prices stayed high for months or even a year, that would be a major benefit to the oil-and-gas-exporter Russia.'
- The partnership instead is shaped by Russia and China using Iran as a geopolitical bargaining chip, with Moscow and Tehran viewing their cooperation as pragmatic under sanctions, not ideological, and stopping short of mutual defense obligations.
