Putin Praises Iran's 'Heroic' Fight, Says 'Strategic Relationship' Will Continue
Putin said Moscow will support Iran’s interests and work to restore peace in the Middle East as Araghchi pressed for renewed talks.
- On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin met Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in St. Petersburg, pledging Moscow would do "everything that serves your interests" to help secure peace in the Middle East.
- Araghchi's visit to Russia followed diplomatic stops in Pakistan and Oman, where he sought regional support after Iran transmitted a proposal to the United States via backchannel mediators to end the war.

- Putin dangled the prospect of Russia acting as a mediator while Russia and Iran maintain their "strategic partnership," potentially shifting leverage as the conflict remains deadlocked between Tehran and Washington.
