Russian President Vladimir Putin held a high-priority phone call with his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, to offer formal condolences following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. According to a Kremlin statement, Putin explicitly condemned what he termed “armed Israeli-American aggression” against the Islamic Republic. The Russian leader emphasized that the assassination and the subsequent week-long bombing campaign have created a dangerous precedent that threatens global stability.

During the conversation, Putin reaffirmed Russia’s commitment to a swift resolution of the conflict, though he framed the path to peace through the lens of Iranian sovereignty. This diplomatic gesture comes at a critical time for Tehran, as it faces a massive U.S.-Israeli air campaign under “Operation Epic Fury,” which has already destroyed over 3,000 targets. The Kremlin indicated that the two leaders would remain in close contact, signaling that Russia may provide further diplomatic or strategic backing as the regional war enters its second week.

The call highlights the deepening “no-limits” partnership between Moscow and Tehran. As the U.S. grants oil waivers to India to keep global markets afloat, Russia’s open support for the “brotherly” Iranian regime serves as a counterweight to Western pressure. With the Middle East now a “warlike operations area,” the Kremlin’s involvement suggests that the geopolitical fallout of the Iran war will continue to reshape alliances between the world’s major powers.
