The CPJ noted the latest statements by Iranian President Massoud Peseshkian, who said that the Islamic Republic does not approve of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
In addition, he once again denied providing Russia with ballistic missiles, the alleged transfer of which was reported earlier by the United States
The purpose of such “peaceful” statements by representatives of the Islamic Republic is probably an attempt to ease sanctions against Iran by sitting “at the negotiating table with Europeans and Americans,” as Masoud Peseshkian himself stated
They emphasize that in fact the continuation of the war in Ukraine is beneficial to Iran, as it is a factor in the dispersion of US attention.
The Center emphasizes that the war in Ukraine has contributed to the revitalization of cooperation between Iran and Russia on a number of issues, including improved cyber operations, the exchange of technologies for nuclear weapons, and the potential provision of Russian aircraft.
