Russia’s reaction to Iran’s call for help is carefully observed on Monday Once the US bombed Nuclear facilities Tehran over the weekend – But Moscow may not quickly offer its allies.
Attacks on Iranian nuclear monuments, which president Donald Trump called ““left the Islamic Republic, which is supported by the few friends he has on the world stage. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Arakhchi went to Moscow on Monday Monday For “serious consultations” with Russian President Vladimir Putin over how to answer the attacks.
Iran assisted Russia with military drones throughout the war in Ukraine, but analysts say that for a mutual mutual mutual mutual reciprocity.
“Iran has massively supported Putin’s war against Ukraine with weapons and technology. In his trip to Moscow, Foreign Minister Iran Abbas Arakhchi may ask Moscow to return commitment,” Berenberg chief economist said on Monday.
“However, Putin probably offers little for the fact that he needs weapons for his extended aggression against Ukraine,” he said.
Russia should also pass the thin border between the location and assistance of Eli Iran and the US preservation, because it is supposed to restore ties with the Russian administration Donald Trump.
“If Putin would annoy Trump over Iran in any significant way, Trump can change the stele and impose new heavy sanctions on Russia and/or weaken Putin’s position in other ways,” Schimiding said.
So far, Moscow’s response to an escalation crisis was mutedWhen Russia calls on Iran and Israel to agree on a peaceful termination of the crisis.
Win some by losing some
Analysts say the Iranian conflict can strengthen Russia’s position in Ukraine, as it distracts Western attention – and potentially resources – away from Ukraine. Higher oil prices can also mean greater export income for the oil producer of the Russian military box office.
At the same time, Russia monitors how another ally of the Middle East is weakened, destroying its own consolidation in the region. Recently, Russia has already seen one valuable alliance, which was exposed to last year’s displacement of the Bashar Assad regime in Syria, which puts the future air and military bases in the country.
Russia can lose even more on potentially profitable investments and infrastructure projects when Iran is severely destabilized. The problem for Moscow is to evaluate now how much it should win or lose, helping or giving up on Iran.
“Moscow appears to be determined what to do from the New War in the Middle East,” Nikita Sagin, Iran’s foreign and domestic foreign policy expert, Eurasia, Eurasia Carnegie, said in the analysis.
“On the one hand, Russia has invested great funds in various projects in Iran over the last three years, and they could all be wasted. At the same time, Moscow hoped to benefit from the instability of the Middle East by increasing oil prices and reducing interest in Ukraine.”

By excluding Russia’s possibility to provide any military assistance to Iran, Smin said that a greater problem for Moscow is the threat to the whole Iranian enterprise in which it actively invest, including oil and gas projects, infrastructure and transit routes.
“A few days before the Israeli operation, Iran’s Ambassador to Moscow – Note that Russia was the largest foreign investor in 2024. The ambassador pointed to no investment, but Russian investments were According to estimates 2.76 billion dollars last year. Moscow planned to invest about $ 8 billion in oil and gas projects, ”the threw said.
“Now the future of these projects is in doubt.”
