#Russian president #Putin is not an ordinary person, and so is his "friendship" with the leadership of some countries. Recently, one could observe how Putin and his envoys "cajole" the #Iranian leadership.

The Russian president meets and calls #Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi regularly. Relations between the leadership of #Russia and #Iran have not always been smooth. There were many problems, such as the spread of #COVID-19, #Syria, #Iran's refusal to pay for...

the construction of the Bushehr and Bushehr-2 nuclear power plants by #Russia and other difficulties (you can find the details in our earlier posts). After #Putin launched an aggressive war, numerous sanctions were imposed on #Russia.

It would seem, "brothers" by misfortune, the Iranian leadership and the top of the #Putin's regime, became friends for centuries. #Iran provided #Russia with drones, which the Russian leadership uses to attack the critical infrastructure of #Ukraine.

Moreover, #Iran has concluded a large arms exchange agreement with #Russia. In exchange for Iranian drones and, most importantly, ballistic missiles, #Putin promised advanced military aircraft, air defense systems and, most importantly,...

technologies and specialists for the rapid creation of nuclear weapons. Despite the general agreements, the deal initially had a strange algorithm for the transfer of weapons. #Iran supplied (as part of this deal) a small number of drones and ballistic missiles...

without providing launchers for missiles. Then, the Iranian leadership began to demand the supply of promised weapons from #Russia, primarily technologies for creating nuclear weapons. Only after that, #Iran would supply the rest of the weapons and launchers.

Fearing, among other things, to be deceived, #Putin stalled and tried to agree on compromise terms. Numerous messengers of Putin, such as Nikolai Patrushev, and Vyacheslav Volodin, tried to negotiate with the leadership of #Iran, but things moved very slowly beyond promises.

Perhaps if the leadership of #Iran were more accommodating, everything would be different. BUT #Putin has cancer. He is treated and provided with medicines by doctors from another also seemingly friendly state whose new-old leadership gently hinted that...

the treatment would stop if #Russia did not provide reliable information about the location of military facilities in #Iran. This request was made, and on Thursday, January 26. By #Putin's order, a very concrete answer was given.

Most likely, the country's own intelligence data was already accurate enough, but confirmation from #Iran's best friend, #Putin, was priceless. All military installations that were hit on Iranian territory were on the list which was handed over on Putin's orders.

It is difficult to say whether the exchange of a "friend" for medicine to save one's own life is equivalent. One can ask #Putin. He knows for sure.
