A timely telephonic summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian spotlighted diplomacy’s primacy over violence in addressing US-Israel actions against Iran, fueling hopes of Russian backing for Tehran.
Detailed by the Foreign Ministry via Telegram, Putin mourned losses from strikes: Supreme Leader Khamenei’s kin, troops, ordinary folk. He decried weaponized aggression.
Putin restated Russia’s credo—no force for Iran or regional woes; embrace swift diplomacy. GCC leader contacts underscore his shuttle diplomacy.
Pezeshkian hailed Russian solidarity in sovereignty defense. In-depth conflict briefings cemented vows for persistent dialogue.
Oil volatility amplifies stakes: price spikes, Hormuz jitters. Alipov in Delhi: India’s call on sources; Russia stands ready. ‘Dialogue resolves; cease fire now,’ he implored, redirecting duration queries to America.
Russia’s February 28 rebuke evolved into Lavrov-Araghchi exchanges, noting attacks’ nuclear talk sabotage and UNSC emergency bid.
Strategically, this positions Russia centrally: ally to Iran, peacemaker globally, influencing energy flows to partners like India. As clashes persist, the call’s message resonates—reason must prevail to spare humanity further sorrow.
