The recent statement by Said Muhammad Sadr, a member of Iran's Expediency Discernment Council, has sparked extensive discussions in regional and international political arenas. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
He revealed that during the 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel in June, Russia provided Israel with intelligence about the locations of Iran's air defense systems. Sadr openly spoke about this in an interview with the Synergyir TV channel, according to the Kommersant publication.
According to Sadr, this incident undermines the perceptions of a strategic alliance with Russia. He emphasized that Moscow only verbally disapproved of Israel's actions against Iran but in practice assisted it.
This cast doubt on the notions of partnership between the two countries. The Iranian official also cited examples of Moscow's relations with other states.
For instance, despite Turkey being a NATO member, Russia agreed to sell it the S-400 defense system. This indicates cooperation based more on economic interests than alliance.
At the same time, Sadr stated that he is not in favor of completely severing ties between Moscow and Tehran. According to him, relations between the two countries should be maintained, but Russia cannot be fully trusted.
He stressed the need to understand the real situation and not view Russia as an absolutely reliable partner. As a result, Said Muhammad Sadr's statement raised new questions regarding Russia-Iran relations.
Experts believe that these remarks could affect strategic ties between the two countries and lead to new changes in regional politics. Analysts and observers are closely monitoring the future consequences of the tensions in Moscow-Tehran relations.
