The Iranian diplomat responded to media interest, saying he expects to have serious talks with the Kremlin leader about common challenges and threats.
Russia has condemned the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, with the Russian ambassador to the UN saying America had “opened the pandora box”.
Abbas Arghchi will likely receive strong words of support from Putin, but military assistance from Moscow seems impossible.
To begin with, Russia's priority now is its war with Ukraine. True, Russia and Iran have a strategic partnership agreement, but it is not a protection pact and does not force Moscow to offer military support to Tehran.
Putin declared last week that Iran had not sought military assistance from Moscow, and from his comments it was clear that he had no rush to offer any assistance. The Kremlin has been eager to maintain good relations with both Iran and Israel and to build a good working relationship with Donald Trump. /Periscope/
