Israel and Trump Still Demand “Unconditional Surrender” ⚖️

While Israel and Trump are demanding the “unconditional surrender” of Tehran, Moscow is increasingly worried about the fate of Iran, while tacitly recognizing its limited ability to influence current events. 😬

Nikita Smagin, an independent expert on Russian-Iranian relations, said:

“It has long been clear that Russia would not defend Iran militarily, because it is simply not ready to risk a confrontation with Israel and the United States for the sake of Iran.” 🇷🇺💥

The Kremlin is unlikely to arm Iran, let alone get involved in the fighting, a Russian source with ties to the Foreign Ministry said. ❌

“If the current Iranian regime collapses, it would be both a strategic and reputational blow for Russia,”

said the source linked to the Russian foreign ministry. 💔

“A greater loss than the fall of Damascus,”

the source added, referring to the decrease in Moscow's influence on Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad, a longtime ally of the Kremlin. 🏙

Putin, in turn, welcomed the deepening of ties between the two countries. In January, he and his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, signed an extensive "comprehensive strategic partnership treaty" aimed at strengthening military cooperation and intelligence sharing. 🤝🇮🇷

When signing the military agreement, the two countries insisted on omitting a mutual defense clause, which means that Moscow now has no legal obligation to provide military assistance to Iran. ⚖️

“Despite repeated requests from the Iranian side for various types of weapons – air defense systems and combat aircraft – none of this has been transferred to Iran by Russia to date,”

Smagin said. 🚫
