On the 19th of this month, at the invitation of Putin, Iranian leader Lehi began a two-day visit in Moscow.
It is worth mentioning that this is Lech's first visit since taking office in August last year, and it is also the first foreign head of state that Russia has met at the Kreuz palace this year.
This Iran-Russia diplomatic talk can be described as of great significance, because the theme of the talks is: jointly deal with the strategic threat of the West!
Like the previous three Russian-European security dialogues, new storms have brought new storms to the already grim situation, resulting in the continuous escalation of the game between the East and the West.
In order to find a way to hedge against the strategic threat of the West, Putin has set his sights on Iran in the Middle East to seek diversified cooperation between the two countries.
So what is the value of Iran that allows Russia to put its chips on it?
Today we will carefully analyze the 2 levels involved in this Russian-Euro First Dialogue!
(1) Maintain the momentum of strategic cooperation
Quoted by the Russian news agency reported on the 19th, Putin held talks with Lesi in the Kremlin on the same day.
Putin first praised the total trade between Russia and Iran in 2021, which increased by nearly 38%, and then stressed the hope that Iran will find a suitable position on the issue of restarting the "Iranian nuclear negotiations" and the situation in Afghanistan.
Lehi said that Iran is eager to maintain stable and comprehensive cooperation with Russia.
Today, the Vienna Conference, which resumed the Iranian nuclear negotiations, has only reached the 8th round and still has no good results.
In this regard, some Russian experts said that the leaders of the two countries "exchanged tables" in the meeting, which is likely to reset the track for the next stage of Iranian nuclear negotiations.
In addition, Iran also submitted a draft 20-year strategic cooperation agreement to Russia.
The draft covers economic, political, and cultural. Cooperation in science and technology, military, security and aviation.
In the past, the relationship between Russia and Iran was very complicated, although it was not a real ally, but because both countries were suppressed by the West, they are now a bit of a group to warm up.
In addition, the invitation of Iranian President Lehi to visit Russia and come up with a multifaceted, 20-year agreement is enough to show that Iran and Russia are close to a serious situation in the West, which is intended to escalate relations between the two countries.
Taken together, the purpose of Lehi's visit is to reach a strategic partnership with Russia, and Putin is also using this to win Iran against strategic threats from the West.
Obviously, maintaining the trend of long-term strategic cooperation is the fundamental basis for the two countries to confront the Western camp, creating a powerful premise for exploring multiple spaces in the future!
(2) Carry out military cooperation
In addition to the attention paid to the strategic relations between the two countries, special attention is also paid to the stage of military trade.
Today, iran is no longer bound by the arms embargo, there is a huge demand for weapons in the country, so with this Iran-Russia meeting, Russia will be an ideal supplier of arms trade.
It is understood that the two countries are expected to sign a total of up to 10 billion US dollars in arms sales orders!
Among them are military weapons such as the MiG-25, Su-24MK fighter jets, and S-400 air defense systems.
However, some media are skeptical that if the two countries successfully reach an arms trade, they may face payment problems.
Because the $10 billion arms sales order is not a small amount, coupled with Iran's long-term sanctions by the West, the domestic economy is in a state of waste.
Therefore, it is doubtful that the Iranian government may replace the $10 billion burden with "allowing Russian companies to obtain the right to mine the Caspian sea gas field"!
While Russia and Iran launch a package of military cooperation projects, Iran intends to replace it with energy, it is a bit unwise, because Russia itself is a big energy exporter.
In general, this Meeting of heads of State of Iran and Russia, from maintaining strategic relations between the two sides to adopting diversified field docking, has successfully coordinated and established a certain united front!
