Putin,U.S. aggression baseless, Russia to support Iranians

Russian President Vladimir Putin has strongly condemned the United States’ recent actions against Iran, calling them “baseless aggression.” In a statement issued during a press briefing, Putin emphasized that there is no legitimate justification for Washington’s hostile approach toward Tehran. He further stated that Russia stands firmly with the Iranian people and will continue to support them politically and diplomatically in the face of external pressure. The Russian leader accused the U.S. of destabilizing the region through unilateral military measures and warned that such provocations could escalate tensions in the Middle East. Putin called on the international community to uphold justice and sovereignty, stressing that Iran has the right to defend itself against any unlawful attack. This declaration comes amid increasing global concern over the potential for a wider conflict following the recent escalation between the U.S. and Iran. Russia’s stance signals growing geopolitical polarization and further complicates efforts for regional peace.
