Here we go again, Russia playing the knight in shining armor! Peskov says Moscow is ready to help Iran in “various ways,” but—hold on—everything depends on what Tehran actually wants! Like some mysterious game of “guess what I want.” And Rjabkov chimes in that Iran’s right to self-defense is “unbreakable” and that the strategic partnership with Iran is rock solid. But of course, the details of their cooperation are “too secret” to share with us mere mortals. So Russia waves its hand, Iran holds the cards, and we’re left watching the game unfold. Is this the start of a new alliance drama or just another diplomatic soap opera? Comment, argue, or just sit back and enjoy this geopolitical soap—boring it definitely won’t be!
