【Why was the head of Russia's intelligence agency present during Putin's meeting with Iran's Foreign Minister?】 During his meeting with Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi, Putin said: "I have received a message from Iran's Supreme Leader. Russia hopes that the Iranian people can get through this difficult period, and peace will ultimately prevail."
Putin pledged that Russia would do everything in its power to establish peace in the Middle East as quickly as possible, provided these efforts serve the interests of Iran and other regional countries. The Russia-Iran relationship reflects a strategic partnership, which will be further strengthened.
Araghchi said: "The world has witnessed Iran's strength. The Iranian people, with their courage, have successfully resisted the United States and are capable of enduring it. The U.S. has failed to achieve any of its strategic objectives. That is precisely why they are now seeking negotiations—we are considering it."
The Chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, Igor Kozyrev, was also present. His attendance suggests that this meeting goes beyond mere discussions on ending the war or Russia’s role in nuclear issues; it is likely that Russia shared some information regarding U.S. troop movements and plans, as well as potential risks of renewed conflict, including the possibility that the U.S. and Israel might be using the ceasefire opportunity to regroup and prepare for a new round of attacks or war against Iran.
