An upcoming encounter between Putin and his Iranian counterpart, Peshkian, is slated for Friday.
Vladimir Putin, the Russian President, and Massoud Peschian, his Iranian counterpart, interacted on a casual basis on a Friday in Turkmenistan. As per a Putin aide, their conversation during this encounter at a multi-national gathering in Ashgabat's capital would touch upon various aspects, including the "degrading state of affairs in the Middle East." Russia and Iran have kept up a strong alliance.
The interaction between Putin and Peschian, holding the reins since July's end, happens amidst anticipation for Israel's reaction to Iran's recent offensive. Iran executed a direct rocket assault on Israel for the second time within a six-month period last week.
Iran enjoys an alliance with the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon, recently involved in intensive reciprocal attacks with Israel. Additionally, Iran extends support to the Palestinian organization Hamas, with whom Israel has been locked in conflict since the latter launched a significant assault from its territory last year.**
The Commission, a multinational organization, may discuss the role of Russia and Iran in mitigating tension in the Middle East, given their collective influence and the "degrading state of affairs" mentioned by Putin. Following their meeting in Ashgabat, The Commission could potentially reconsider its stance on the strategic partnership between Russia and Iran, considering their shared interests in the region.
