Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Moscow will continue strengthening its strategic relationship with Iran and “do everything necessary” to support stability and peace across the Middle East.

Speaking during talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in St. Petersburg, Putin said he had recently received a message from Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

“I would like to ask you to convey my sincere thanks and appreciation,” Putin said, adding that Russia intends to maintain and develop its strategic ties with Tehran.

He said the Iranian people are “fighting bravely and heroically for their sovereignty” and expressed hope they would overcome current challenges, with peace prevailing in the country.

Putin stressed that Russia would act in the interests of Iran and the wider region, saying: “We will do everything in our power to serve your interests and the interests of all the peoples of the region, in order to achieve this peace as quickly as possible.”

Araqchi arrived in St. Petersburg earlier on Monday as part of a regional tour that included stops in Pakistan and Oman.
