Russia fires back at Iran’s criticism of Ukraine conflict

Breaking News: Moscow responds to Iranian President’s criticism of Russia’s actions in Ukraine

During a recent speech at the UN General Assembly, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian openly condemned Russia’s aggression towards Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of respecting national borders. Pezeshkian expressed his belief in resolving the conflict through dialogue and extended an offer to engage in discussions with European and American leaders.

“We are ready to sit down with the Europeans and Americans at the negotiating table,” Pezeshkian stated.

Contrary to previous speculations, Pezeshkian denied claims of Iran supplying weapons to Russia. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov acknowledged Iran’s independent stance and expressed optimism about the ongoing cooperation between the two countries.

“We have very positive cooperation in a variety of areas. We expect that this interaction will continue to expand,” Peskov affirmed.

In July, Pezeshkian had pledged support for peace initiatives in Ukraine. Despite Russia’s readiness to consider Iran as a potential mediator, specific signals from Tehran are yet to be received.
