In a move poised to reshape geopolitical alliances, the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between Russia and Iran was officially enacted, according to an announcement from Russia's Foreign Ministry. This significant agreement highlights a milestone in the bilateral relations between Moscow and Tehran, elevating their partnership to a new strategic dimension.
Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran signed the treaty in Moscow on January 17, 2025, and it became effective on October 2. The document outlines key sectors for long-term cooperation, including trade, military, science, culture, and education, indicating a comprehensive approach to strengthening ties over the next 20 years.
As global dynamics evolve with a shifting multipolar world order, the treaty emphasizes joint efforts in international spheres and regional stability. This comes amidst tensions over the restoration of sanctions against Iran, a move criticized by Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, who argues the sanctions lack legal justification.
