Russia and Iran have signed a partnership treaty involving closer military cooperation, three days before the return of US President-elect Donald Trump to the White House.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian met in Moscow on Friday to sign the deal, which covers everything from trade to science.

The two countries, both of which are targeted by ongoing Western sanctions, have grown closer in recent years. Russia is accused by Kyiv and the West of using Iranian-made drones in its war with Ukraine, which Moscow and Tehran have denied.

Putin hailed the “comprehensive strategic partnership treaty” as a “real breakthrough” for the wider region, while Pezeshkian praised the “vital, sensitive and strategic” relations between the two nations.

It will be interesting to see how Putin responds after Israel retaliates against Iran.

Retaliates? What is the offense? I think Israel should care more about Turkey from now on.
