What does it mean when we say that relations between Moscow and Tehran are strategic?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When we say that \u201crelations between Moscow and Tehran are strategic,\u201d it means that the relationship is not merely a friendship or temporary cooperation. Rather, it is based on long-term interests in security, politics, economics, and geopolitics.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In simpler terms:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Militarily and in terms of security:<\/p>\n
Cooperation in the fields of defense, intelligence, training, and coordination, particularly in confronting Western pressure.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Politically:<\/p>\n
Moscow and Tehran cooperate on regional and international issues and support each other in confronting American and Western influence.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Economically:<\/p>\n
Increasing trade, energy cooperation, transportation, and investment, while seeking to establish trade routes that reduce dependence on the Western system.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Geopolitically:<\/p>\n
Russia views Iran as a very important country in the Gulf, the Middle East, and Central Asia, while Iran views Russia as a major power capable of balancing the United States.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During crises:<\/p>\n
A strategic relationship means that the two countries seek to prevent their adversary from achieving major gains at the expense of the other.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, there is an important point: \u201cstrategic\u201d does not mean that Moscow and Tehran are unlimited allies or that their interests are identical. There are also differences and competition between them, particularly in the areas of energy and regional influence.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In conclusion:<\/p>\n
\u201cStrategic\u201d means: We do not cooperate with the other side on just one issue; rather, we consider our relationship with that side to be part of our long-term calculations regarding security, influence, and the economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
