Iran has reaffirmed that its military cooperation with Russia will continue despite the ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the partnership with Moscow is part of a long-standing strategic relationship and not a new development. He also defended Iran’s strikes on US targets in the Middle East, describing them as acts of self-defence against a war “imposed” by Washington and Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, the United States Central Command accused Tehran of endangering civilians by launching missile and drone attacks from densely populated areas, warning that such locations could become legitimate military targets under international law.
