I received a message from Mr. Khamenei, and the Iranian people are fighting with courage and heroism for their sovereignty. Russia will do everything in the interest of Iran and other countries in the region to ensure peace in the "Middle East" as soon as possible. Russia hopes that the Iranian people will overcome this difficult period and that peace will prevail in the country.

The relations between Russia and Iran represent a strategic partnership and will be further strengthened. We thank Russia and Putin for their support for Iran. The Iranian people have been able to confront the American aggression with their courage and will continue to be able to resist.
