Russia's upper house of parliament, the Federation Council, has ratified a 20-year comprehensive strategic partnership treaty with Iran, signed on Jan. 17, 2025, by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. The agreement aims to deepen and expand cooperation in all areas of mutual interest, including security, defense, and energy, with the possibility of automatic extension for subsequent five-year periods. The treaty, previously approved by the State Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament, on April 8, 2025, covers a wide range of areas such as arms control, the fight against international terrorism, and cooperation in trade, banking, transport, and peaceful nuclear energy. Federation Council chairwoman Valentina Matviyenko has instructed authorities to monitor the ratification process by Iran. Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko noted that while Russia would prefer a synchronized process, the peculiarities of the Iranian parliamentary procedure may delay Iran's ratification. The treaty seeks to closely coordinate activities at the regional and global levels.
