Russia and Iran have agreed to closer military cooperation, an agreement that was announced during a visit to Moscow by President Masoud Pezeshkian.

The two countries signed a 20-year strategic partnership treaty, covering areas such as defense and technology, energy and trade.

Iran has been supplying Russia with drones and ballistic missiles since ties between them strengthened following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

In the treaty, Russia and Iran pledged to consult and cooperate to deal with military and security threats, as well as participate in joint military exercises in their territories and beyond.

They also agreed not to allow their territories to be used for actions that threaten the other side.

Iranian President Pezeshkian said that the signing of the agreement meant that Russia and Iran were entering a new chapter in relations.

Trade between the two countries could increase significantly from more cooperation in the energy sector.

During a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart, Russian President Vladimir Putin said his country was considering building new nuclear power units in Iran.

Moscow is also looking to sell Tehran some of its surplus gas following Western sanctions.

"Russia could eventually supply Iran with up to 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year ," Putin said./ Adapted from CNA
