US EditionWill Russia Benefit From the Israel-Iran War?
- On June 23, 2025, at the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin held discussions with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi concerning the intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran.
- The meeting followed U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities on June 22, prompting Iran to seek stronger Russian support amid ongoing heavy exchanges of strikes with Israel.
- Putin condemned the U.S. strikes as unprovoked aggression, affirmed Russia's readiness to assist Iran, and emphasized the countries' long-standing partnership as Araghchi denounced the attacks as violations of international law.

- The conflict's continuation risks broader Middle East instability and economic effects like soaring oil prices, while Russia's involvement may affect U.S. military support for Ukraine and influence regional power dynamics.
