Russia and Iran sign strategic partnership agreement to boost ties

Russia and Iran have signed a new strategic partnership agreement aimed at strengthening their political and economic ties. This comes as both countries face sanctions from the U.S. and its allies. The pact was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during a ceremony at the Kremlin. Putin called the agreement a "breakthrough" in their relations. This agreement marks a significant development in cooperation between Russia and Iran, especially with the anticipated return of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
