Russia and Iran ‘building momentum’ – Putin

https://rt.com/russia/-russia-iran-build-momentum-relations

Moscow and Tehran have developed strong ties over the past years and as a result have boosted their respective economies, Russian President Vladimir Putin told his Iranian counterpart, Ebrahim Raisi on Thursday. Raisi was in Moscow on a state visit.

The two leaders discussed both bilateral ties and wider global challenges, including the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Russia and Iran had built “good momentum” over the past year, Putin told Raisi, pointing to cooperation in energy and education. The states are also investing in Iranian railroads, which are destined to become a part of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC).

A network of sea, rail, and highway routes spanning over 7,200km, the INSTC is designed to link Russia’s city of St. Petersburg, on the Baltic Sea, to Mumbai in India through the Caspian Sea and Iran. The project, the genesis of which dates back to 2002, involves a total of 11 nations.

Agreed. And Hamas should not use hospitals as command posts and children as human shields. Otherwise, it is inevitable that will happen.

I think that there should be something that will happen to stop Putin from keep becoming more powerful.

This is scary news to me, not just because Russia's already fighting another war, but they're now thinking about condemning with Iran, an already fairly poor developed country, and for some whatever reason.

Since America is now looked upon as a weakened nation, we are not positioning our nation as a Strong nation to put Putin and Iran in a standstill. But since Biden took office, he is looked at as a joke.
