Trump's warning is useless, Russian President Putin immediately supports Iran! On March 9, foreign media reported that Putin expressed his congratulations on the appointment of Iran's new Supreme Leader Khamenei. The Russian president said, I would like to reiterate that we firmly support Tehran and stand united with our Iranian friends. I believe that you will proudly continue your father's cause and unite the Iranian people in the face of severe tests.
Evidently, despite Trump's warning that the new Iranian leader must be personally selected and that the new leader will not last long without American approval, Russia completely ignores the warning from the United States. This move by President Putin clearly conveys that Russia will continue to maintain friendly relations with Iran and fully respect the decision of the Iranian people.
Russia's public support directly clarifies its position to Washington, meaning that Russia's strategic cooperation with Iran will not be shaken by external threats, and Russia does not approve of U.S. interference in Iran's internal affairs. For Iran, such a statement is political endorsement, which helps the new leadership stabilize the external situation and actively carry out normal state diplomacy. The so-called "only recognized by the United States" logic is self-defeating.
