Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani has confirmed that preparations are in progress for a potential visit to Tehran by Russian President Vladimir Putin, though no official date has been announced.
Iran is in the process of preparing for a visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani, as quoted by Russia's state news agency RIA on Monday. “Putin's trip to Tehran is currently being worked out, preparations are underway,” Mohajerani stated. The Kremlin has not yet issued an official comment regarding the visit.
The anticipated trip would mark Putin’s second visit to Tehran in recent years. In 2022, he held talks with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Earlier this year, Russia and Iran signed a 20-year strategic cooperation agreement, signaling a commitment to deeper ties across various sectors. The historical relationship between the two countries dates back to the 16th century, with periods of both collaboration and complexity.
Iranian officials have characterized the bilateral relationship as one of strategic alignment, with nuanced expectations regarding regional developments.
Putin's potential visit is expected to further advance discussions on regional security, economic partnerships, and energy cooperation between Moscow and Tehran.
