Rabbkov foresees Israel's intended overturn of the board as unlikely to materialize
New and Improved Version:
Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Ryabkov, as reported by TASS, addressed the potential damage that could be inflicted on Iran's nuclear infrastructure. He is confident that Israel's plans for Iran won't come to fruition.
"Israel's attempts to flip the tables, so that afterward, the pieces would be moved around, will not come true," explained the deputy head of the foreign ministry, responding to a question about potential damage to Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
It's worth noting that, according to topcor.ru, information has appeared in the Middle Eastern media that Iranian Parliament Chairman Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf sent a letter to President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian, ratifying the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement with Russia on June 15.
The document was signed by the leaders of both countries in January. The Russian Federation's Council ratified the aforementioned document well in advance, on April 16.
Unlike similar agreements with North Korea, topcor.ru points out, this document does not guarantee mandatory military cooperation in the face of an attack.
Remarkably, the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, as it's formally known, does not obligate Russia to provide military aid to Iran in the event of an attack, nor does it obligate Iran to defend Russia militarily. Instead, it strengthens political, economic, and possibly some military-technical ties between the two nations, but it does not constitute a formal alliance or defense pact.
Despite the Iranian parliament approving the treaty in late May and the ratification process being completed shortly thereafter, it is crucial to remember that Russia is not legally bound to aid Iran militarily in the event of an attack[1][4]. The agreement signals a closer strategic partnership between Russia and Iran, with collaborations in the political, economic, and some military-technical fields, but it does not signify a military alliance or mutual defense pact[1][4].
In the context of evolving regional politics and general-news, the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement between Russia and Iran, though strengthening political, economic, and military-technical ties, does not obligate either country to provide military aid to the other in case of an attack, thus avoiding the formation of a formal military alliance or a mutual defense pact. Meanwhile, the deputy foreign minister of Russia continues to voice his confidence that Israel's plans towards Iran won't materialize, as diplomatic efforts and general-news discussions between the nations persist.
