'khamenei letter'

Khamenei asks Putin for support

SUMMARY

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi visited Moscow to request more support from President Vladimir Putin following recent U.S. military actions against Iran.

Speculation about a potential regime change led by the U.S. has alarmed Russia, which fears instability in the Middle East. While Putin condemned Israeli strikes, he has remained silent on U.S. attacks. Araqchi delivered a letter from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, expressing Iran's dissatisfaction with Russia's current support. Putin has offered to mediate between Iran and the U.S., emphasizing Iran's right to civil nuclear energy.

Despite being an ally, Russia appears reluctant to escalate tensions with the U.S., coinciding with Trump's efforts to improve U.S.-Russia relations.
