Russia and Iran are set to finalize their partnership agreement just before Trump's inauguration.

In Moscow, just days before President-elect Trump's return to the Oval Office, Russian President Putin and Iranian President Pezeshkian are meeting to sign a partnership treaty.

As the winner of Iran's July runoff election, Pezeshkian will hold talks with Putin and sign a partnership pact during his first trip to Moscow as president.

According to a Reuters report, Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, stated that Iran is a crucial partner for us and we are collaborating with them on various aspects.

According to Bloomberg, Russia and Iran's leaders are expected to discuss the development of transit corridors for trade and energy negotiations. However, there are no indications that the two have made significant progress on the project, particularly with Iran's aim to become a hub for Russian gas.

Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, stated that the Biden administration is weakening Russia, China, and Iran prior to Trump's return to Washington, despite the Kremlin's global activities.

Since the imposition of sanctions by the US and its allies, Russia has strengthened its connections with countries that are hostile to the West, including Iran and North Korea. In particular, Russia and Iran's relationship has intensified since Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which has resulted in a prolonged conflict.

Ret. Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, President-elect Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, has urged the US to adopt a policy of "maximum pressure" on Iran.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran, in Paris, urged Kellogg to advocate for a policy of maximum pressure against Iran, with the support of the global community, including standing with the Iranian people and their aspirations for democracy.

The regime in Teheran is being opposed by Kellogg and the US people.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov states that the partnership pact should not be a source of worry, despite concerns expressed by the US and its allies.

According to Sky News, Lavrov stated that this agreement, similar to our treaty with North Korea, is not aimed at anyone.

In June, Kim Jong Un and Putin met in Pyongyang, signing an aid pact that strengthened their relationship since the fall of the Soviet Union. Putin thanked Kim for his unwavering support of the ongoing war with Ukraine.

At the time, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that Russia, in a last-ditch effort, attempted to strengthen its relationships with countries that could supply it with the resources necessary to continue its aggression against Ukraine.

He stated that the US will take all necessary measures to sever the aid that nations, such as Iran and North Korea, are offering.
