00:00 Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, where

00:05 he once again criticized Israel's action on Gaza.

00:09 Putin, hosting Raisi as part of his diplomatic endeavors across the Middle East, sought to

00:13 position Moscow as a mediator in the Israel-Palestine conflict, framing the Israel-Hamas conflict

00:18 as a failure of U.S. diplomacy.

00:20 During the discussions with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, Iranian President Ebrahim

00:24 Raisi criticized the West for backing what he called "genocide" by Israel against

00:28 Palestinians in Gaza.

00:31 Putin welcomed Raisi at the Kremlin as part of a series of meetings concentrated on the

00:36 Middle East.

00:37 This occurred a day after Putin's visit to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia,

00:41 where talks revolved around the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, alongside discussions

00:46 regarding efforts by Russia and OPEC to increase oil prices.

00:49 Now, this is no hidden fact that Iran supports Hamas, the governing body in Gaza.

00:54 While Russia maintains relations with various key partners in the region, including both

00:58 Hamas and Israel.

01:00 But in recent days, Russia has been extending its soft side to Palestinians more just to

01:04 keep the Arab nations in its support.

01:06 Now, it is more likely that Iran is seeking more cooperation with Russia in a bid to coerce

01:11 Israel in the Gaza war.

01:12 Why?

01:13 Well, if you remember, just a few days ago, Iran had inked a deal with Russia to modernize

01:18 its aging air force with the new Sukhoi-35 jets and much more.

01:23 Some analysts also believe that the Gaza conflict has diverted global attention from the Ukraine

01:27 war, which is benefiting Russia and it is allowing it to align with other developing

01:31 nations in solidarity with Palestinians.

01:34 And now, one big beating between Russia and Iran.

01:37 The United States has also expressed concern about the growing military cooperation between

01:40 Moscow and Tehran, warning about Iran's possible supply of advanced ballistic missiles to Russia

01:46 for use in the Ukraine war.

01:47 The Kremlin has also acknowledged the development of Russian-Iranian relations, including the

01:51 military-technical cooperation, without elaborating specific details.

01:55 But what was this recent meeting for?

01:57 That still remains unanswered.
