Russia has rolled back on comments suggesting that a major agreement with Iran had been suspended due to problems it faced with Tehran.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, Tehran has supplied Moscow's war machine with equipment such as the Shahed drone, which has been used to attack Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.
In September of that year, work on a new treaty between Moscow and Tehran was announced during a meeting between Putin and the late President of the Islamic Republic, Ebrahim Raisi.
Russia's Foreign Ministry had said in January that the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty was in the final stages of being agreed and signed by Putin and Raisi.
But after the death of Raisi and other officials in a helicopter crash in May, it appears that the agreement has been delayed. Zamir Kabulov, a director in the Asian Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, told state news agency RIA Novosti that a comprehensive agreement between the countries had been put on hold.
"The process, of course, has been suspended due to problems with Iranian partners," he told the agency in comments that were widely reported by other outlets, although he added, "I have no doubt that it will be completed."
However, Iran's ambassador to Moscow, Kazem Jalali, told the Vedomosti news agency that the agreement would be ready after the presidential elections on June 28 for Raisi's successor.

Curious, what is the backstory to that image?
bkmk
It is a photo from military training of Ukrainian Army’s 43rd Infantry Brigade in Kharkiv.
The Iranian president essentially has no power. He can only do things the Ayatollah approves. When the Ayatollah wants to try something, he selects a president to do it for him. That way if it fails the Ayatollah isn’t to blame. The delay is so that the new president can sign the documents. We can assume there is no change in strategic direction on Iran’s part. The delay would be the same if Biden died and we had to wait for Kamal to sign legislation. But Iran has to run an election first whereas the Vice President is like having a spare tire.
Remember Marcus - there are only two genders.
Guy looks about 60
The backstory is the Ukrainian military has chewed thru a generation of young men and are now using 70 y/o’s like this poor soul.
yep
The back story is what I posted, he is a soldier doing some training.
He doesn’t look 70 to me, he reminds me of an old sergeant in my unit, except your guy looks a little younger.
maybe some will use him as an incentive to join the fray.
Maybe you should pay more attention to the thread topic and quit spamming threads with the same irrelevant photo over and over.
