Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday took aim at the recent U.S. strikes on Iran, calling them a “completely unprovoked act of aggression.”
“You are visiting Russia during a challenging period, marked by a significant escalation of tensions both in the region and surrounding your country,” Putin told Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, according to an English transcript from the Kremlin.
“Russia’s position on the current developments is well known. It has been clearly expressed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is reflected in the stance we’ve taken at the United Nations Security Council, with which you are already familiar.”
“The completely unprovoked act of aggression against Iran is without foundation or justification. Russia has long-standing, strong, and trustworthy relations with Iran, and we are committed to supporting the Iranian people through our continued efforts,” he added.

Dmitry Peskov, a Russian presidential spokesperson, said to reporters at a briefing that potential aid “all depends on what Iran needs.”

“Putin flipped the script, basically put the USA on the same level as Russia and denied the US the moral high ground. At least, that’s what he’s trying to do.”
Total B.S. The situations are not analogous. U.S. seeks no territory in Iran and everyone knows it. The “risk/threat” contexts are also not analogous. As a Putinista you give Vlad accolades he is not due.
