413. Nicole Grajewski - The Russia-Iran Relationship is Growing Stronger but are they Best of Frenemies?

As the global geopolitical landscape undergoes significant
transformations, the nuclear threat has taken on new dimensions. The
Russia-Iran relationship is growing stronger. Khamenei endorsing
Russia’s war in Ukraine — which has given Tehran more leverage in the
bilateral relationship — while both countries try to weather
unprecedented Western sanctions. Nonetheless, Russia’s ties with Iran
remain complex, characterized by areas of cooperation, stalled plans and
competition across various domains. Iran / Russia – best frenemies?
