After attacking Israel, Iran counts on Russia's support moving forward
Jerusalem Post ^ | 4/14/2024 | Seth J. Frantzman

After its drone attack against Israel, Iran seeks to continue building its partnership with Russia, which has slammed the UN Security Council's emergency meeting after the attack.

Iran is hoping for Russian support in the wake of its massive attack on Israel. The Iranian Foreign Ministry praised Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday and noted a phone call between Lavrov and his Iranian counterpart, in which Russia said it would defend Iran at the UN Security Council.

According to pro-Iran Al-Mayadeen media, Tehran views Russia’s comments positively. The Russians, according to the report, said the Iranian attack was coupled with restraint, though this sentiment is questionable, as the attack included 350 missiles and drones.

However, both Russia and Iran are allies of the Syrian regime. Iran claimed its attack was in response to an airstrike in Damascus which Tehran has blamed on Israel. “Russia did not doubt that Iran would respond to the Israeli attack on its consulate in Damascus,” the report noted. Now, Iran has threatened more attacks, claiming “Iran’s response will be stronger and more severe if the Zionist entity carries out new action against it,” a response that is designed to create a new deterrence against Israel to try to prevent more Israeli actions.

Iran wants to rewrite the region’s rules and equation and make it so that Iran can attack Israel directly in the future, and not suffer any kind of direct response.

Iran backs Hamas, and Russia has not condemned the October 7 attack, illustrating how Iran is seeking to bring Russia closer to Tehran’s regional views.

You didn’t answer the question.

I bet you were mad at President Trump for droning Soleimani, too.

Another Ruzzia, Ruzzia, Ruzzia article because you can’t post
articles about what’s going on in Zeeperland (YouCrayne).
Nothing good for YouCrayne on the ground.

I support Israel and with Putin did too.
But Ruzzia is not my Country. Not my decision.

Personally, I’m suspicious they’ve given him/her/they, too high a dose of the transition hormones.

The Eurasian policy wonk known as “Putin’s Brain” made it very clear that Iran will be a key ally in the Russky Mir.

Tell Russia to support Israel instead of Iran.

Tell your Biden and your Le-loyd Austin that they should ask The Russia and The Putin to stop blowing up Ukrainian power plants, marcus.
