🇷🇺📞🇮🇷 — Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Iranian Air Defense situation:

“We suggested to our Iranian partners that they work with us in the field of air defense systems.

However, they did not show much interest at the time, and that was the end of it.

As for the strategic partnership agreement, it contains no provisions related to the defense sector.

Moreover, our Iranian partners are not requesting such provisions, so there is practically nothing to discuss on that front”

I want to very clearly express our solidarity with our Gulf allies, particularly the United Arab Emirates, as well as with our compatriots and our armed forces present in the region.

France must rise to the occasion: at the side of its allies and fully mobilized to protect its nationals.

The missile and drone attacks launched in response by Iran, in a totally disproportionate and indiscriminate manner, have struck facilities and numerous civilian targets among our partners and allies in the region.
