TEHRAN- President Vladimir Putin of Russia used the occasion of the Persian New Year to reaffirm Moscow’s commitment to Tehran, describing the two nations as loyal allies facing shared challenges.

Putin says Russia Iran’s ‘Loyal ally’ in New Year message

In a message to Iran’s Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, Putin said Russia is a “loyal ally and partner” to the Islamic Republic of Iran, according to a readout of the message published by the Kremlin. He expressed hope for a successful resolution to the current U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, and assured Iranians of Russia’s support during these difficult times.

The outreach follows months of deepening ties between the two countries, which signed and ratified a strategic cooperation pact in early 2025. Since the onset of the ongoing Israeli-American military aggression against Iran in late February, Russia has consistently condemned Washington and Tel Aviv and offered to help ease regional tensions.
