People of Iran are fighting bravely and heroically for their sovereignty: Putin tells Araghchi

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi
The people of Iran are fighting bravely and heroically for their sovereignty, Russian President Vladimir Putin told Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during their meeting on Monday.

Putin met the visiting Iranian foreign minister in St. Petersburg.

He hailed the Iranian people for "bravely and heroically" fighting to preserve their national sovereignty and expressed hope that they would overcome these difficult times and peace would return to their country.

Putin added that Russia will take every necessary step to ensure the interests of Iran and other regional countries and to help restore peace in the region as soon as possible.

The Russian president noted that he received a written message from the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, last week.

The Iranian foreign minister, who is in Moscow on the last leg of his regional tour, commended Russia’s constant support for Iran, particularly during the unprovoked war of aggression launched by the United States and the Israeli regime.

“Relations between Russia and Iran, which represent a strategic partnership, will be strengthened,” Araghchi said.

“With their courage, the Iranian people succeeded in resisting the US aggression and will be able to endure it,” he added.

The top Iranian diplomat also conveyed Ayatollah Khamenei’s warm greetings to the Russian president.

Araghchi arrived in the Russian capital Sunday night on the last leg of his three-nation regional tour that also took him to Pakistan and Oman.

Iran’s Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali said on Sunday that the two countries share a common approach to regional and international issues.

He added that Araghchi’s visit to Moscow will take place as part of “close consultations” between the two countries.

Tensions have been running high in the region following the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, which was launched on February 28 with the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and several top military commanders.

Iran’s Armed Forces responded with 100 waves of retaliatory strikes under Operation True Promise 4, launching ballistic and hypersonic missiles, as well as drones, against American military bases across West Asia and Israeli positions throughout the occupied territories.

On April 8, forty days into the war, a Pakistan-brokered temporary ceasefire took effect. Talks ensued in Islamabad but failed to produce an agreement.
