THE CASE OF IRAN’S REFUSAL TO CONDEMN RUSSIAN AGGRESSION

The reasons behind Iran’s refusal to condemn Russian aggression can be traced to Iran’s ties with Russia during the past few decades, its increasingly strained relationship with the West, and developments across the Middle East.

Generally speaking, Iran never condemns Russia’s foreign aggressions, but at the same time, never recognises the territories Moscow brings under control either ( 2008 Georgian war, Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, and eastern Ukraine.)
