Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran Abbas Araghchi said. Russia і China provide military assistance to Iran and act as strategic partners in confronting USA and Israel.
According to the head of Iranian diplomacy, Moscow and Beijing support Tehran at the strategic level, which is key to countering Western pressure and military operations in the region.
