Key provisions: Russia-Iran strategic coop treaty
Reuters :
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian on Friday signed a 20-year strategic partnership treaty that includes closer defence cooperation, something likely to worry the West.
The two sides will work to deepen their relationship in all areas of mutual interest. They will strengthen cooperation in security and defence, and closely coordinate their activities at regional and global levels, aiming for a long-term, comprehensive and strategic partnership.
The two countries will work together against common military threats, take part in joint exercises and develop their “military-technical cooperation”. If one is attacked, the other shall not assist the aggressor and will seek to resolve differences based on the U.N. Charter and international law.
Neither side will allow its territory to be used to support separatist movements or actions threatening the other’s stability and territorial integrity.
