While Trump is playing the long game with the Iranian regime, Iran is making nuclear overtures with Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin recently said Moscow remains ready to assist in resolving the Iran crisis if all parties are willing to seek a solution.
Putin stressed that Russia’s proposals are already known to both Washington and Tehran and insisted that any decision ultimately rests with the parties involved.
He highlighted Russia’s trusted relationship with Iran while also emphasizing Moscow’s strong ties with Arab and Gulf states.
Putin said he welcomed the ceasefire and Russia’s priority is ending the conflict quickly and ensuring long-term regional stability.
At least, that is what he said. And then, this….
Iran and Russia signed a $25 billion memorandum of understanding for cooperation in the nuclear sector, Iran’s ambassador to Moscow said, highlighting expanding collaboration between the two countries on major nuclear energy projects.
Speaking at the online scientific and practical conference titled “Russia-Iran Cooperation in a Changing World,” held in Moscow on Wednesday, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali outlined a range of joint economic and strategic projects between Tehran and Moscow.
Referring to bilateral cooperation projects, particularly the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), Jalali said recent developments have further underscored the importance of the route.
“Given that international waterways and straits have come under threat, the importance of non-maritime routes has become more evident than ever. One of the major routes is the North-South Corridor, which is being strengthened through the determination of regional countries, especially the Islamic Republic of Iran and Russia,” he said.
The ambassador also described plans to transfer Russian gas through Iranian territory and transport strategic goods to Eurasian countries, particularly Russia, as among the growing areas of economic cooperation between the two countries.
Turning to nuclear cooperation, Jalali said the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant is currently operational, while the second and third units are under construction.
“We thank our Russian friends for gradually returning experts and engineers to Iran,” he said.
He added that Iran is also pursuing the large-scale Hormuz Nuclear Power Plant project and revealed that Tehran and Moscow signed a memorandum of understanding worth $25 billion in 2025.
“This is Iran’s largest nuclear project. It is being carried out by Iran’s private sector in cooperation with Rosatom,” Jalali stated.
The ambassador also cited joint work on small-scale nuclear power plants in cooperation with the Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom and expressed hope that the project would begin as soon as possible.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Jalali said cooperation and joint research between Iran and Russia in the field of radiopharmaceutical production are expanding rapidly.
According to the ambassador, Iran ranked among the world’s top three producers of radiopharmaceuticals in 2025, demonstrating that the country seeks to utilize nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
And if you believe that, you believe anything.
The IRGC is here to stay, and acquiring “genocidal weapons”, one way or another. IRGC must be shipped “ad patres”, ASAP!
AS toxic as the “Trans BS” incompatible with the laws of nature.
Putin is playing Iran.
While there is a bit of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” he will not and does not forget the humiliation muslims have put him through with their terrorist attacks on Russian soil.
I would not be surprised if he brought some of his Chinese partners in to discuss “organ work”.
Islamo-Marxism, the perfect oxymoron. But unholy alliances of aliens are common practice.
