Russia does not intend to help Iran.
On April 8, local time, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said that if the United States attacks Iran, Russia has no obligation to provide military assistance to Iran, but will take all measures to mediate the conflict.
Although Russia and Iran just signed a new strategic partnership agreement this year, Russia wants to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict as soon as possible and needs US mediation. Russia does not want to offend the United States over the Iran issue. In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Iran provided a large number of drones to Russia, helping Russia reverse the situation. Morally and logically, Russia should help Iran. Once Iran is taken down by the United States, there will be no place for Russia in the entire Middle East. After the United States attacks Iran, it would be wise for Russia to secretly provide weapons and equipment to Iran and keep the United States tied up.
