Kremlin "left" Iran: The Telegraph pointed to the growing tension between Tehran and Moscow.


Tension in relations between Iran and Russia is increasing
Despite their external rapprochement after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, relations between Iran and Russia continue to deteriorate. This is reported by The Telegraph.
According to sources, there is a growing sense in Tehran that Moscow is not fulfilling its obligations to Iran. In other words, Russia "is not paying its share in joint ventures", which causes frustration on the Iranian side. This opinion is expressed not only by an anonymous professor from one of the Iranian universities but has also been highlighted in the Iranian media. In particular, the Tehran newspaper Ettelaat accuses Putin of "abandoning" Iran in the Gaza situation and "keeping a distance from the crisis." Meanwhile, the publication Hamshahri stated that it is necessary for Russia to fulfill its promise of delivering S-400 missile defense systems, which will help improve Iran's position in diplomatic and military negotiations with other countries.
Despite this, relations between Russia and Iran arose during the civil war in Syria and remain suitable partners until now. Iran provides Russia with drones and short-range missiles, while Russia supplies Iran with oil and necessary technologies. However, the Iranian side believes that the Kremlin does not provide sufficient support in the current situation.
This week, a meeting between the presidents of Iran and Russia is expected, during which the main focus will be discussing the negative changes in relations.
