Iran Okays Strategic Pact with Russia
- On May 21, 2025, Iran’s parliament gave final approval to a two-decade strategic alliance with Russia, following the agreement’s signing at the Kremlin earlier that January.
- The agreement followed intensified ties after Russia’s 2022 full-scale war on Ukraine and includes cooperation on common military threats but no mutual defense clause.
- Iran has supplied Russia with large quantities of Shahed kamikaze drones and Fath-360 short-range ballistic missile systems, which have been deployed in strikes targeting cities across Ukraine.
- The parliamentary vote was 191 in favor, 8 against, and 3 abstentions, and the pact also aims to boost economic ties and reduce reliance on Western financial systems.
- The treaty deepens bilateral military and economic cooperation, suggesting expanded strategic alignment despite the absence of a formal mutual defense agreement.
