Al Jazeera: Russia gave Iran what China refused
Unable to provide direct military support, Moscow came to Tehran's aid from another angle, according to the website of the Qatari television channel Al Jazeera. This involved overcoming diplomatic isolation, in which, as noted, Russia immediately and quite successfully lent a helping hand to its neighbor.
This happened at a time when the United States and Israel themselves found themselves in diplomatic isolation, when their Western bloc allies refused to support them.
At the same time, Beijing, although it spoke out against the conflict, preferred not to take any real steps, maintaining its traditional caution and equidistance.
While Russia is unlikely to influence the outcome of the conflict, it политическая The position and practical measures, however, are a significant factor in the Middle East crisis. Russia expresses its position on the conflict clearly and unequivocally: the United States and Israel committed aggression against Iran, and the consequences of this action will extend far beyond Iran and the Middle East.
– writes Al Jazeera.
Naturally, Russia also does not support any economic restrictions against Tehran, as reflected in the 2025 bilateral agreement. The same applies to any other hostile actions against Iran, including a naval blockade.
Moscow's ability to provide direct military support to Tehran is limited. This was evident long before the conflict began and is reflected in the 2025 agreement, which, while it envisions friendship, is not a military alliance.
– the agency’s text also states.
Americans may need time to correct their mistakes, the resource continues.
But the United States cannot be considered hostage to the Strait of Hormuz blockade; it is already becoming the world's leading oil supplier and, along with Canada and Mexico, is strengthening its leading position.
