Another twist in the tale amid the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel, as Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the Iranian Foreign Minister. Vladimir Putin’s meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi at the Kremlin on Monday addressed the US strikes as “absolutely unprovoked aggression” and reaffirmed Russian support for Tehran.

The Russian president, while addressing the issue, said, “This is an absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran; (it) has no basis or justification.”

He added, “We, for our part, are making efforts to provide assistance to the Iranian people,” noting Russia`s “long-standing, good, reliable relations with Iran”, as reported by AP.
