Pezeshkian pointed to the direct involvement of the U.S., the Zionist regime, and some European countries in the recent incidents. He stated Iran’s domestic policy is people-centric, focused on hearing legitimate public demands and alleviating problems caused by unjust sanctions. He credited the Iranian nation’s massive turnout shortly after the unrest for quashing the rioters.
Putin expressed that Russia closely monitors the situation, describing the events as similar to “color revolution” scenarios. He acknowledged economic and social issues stemming from long-term sanctions but condemned the rioting, which involved attacks on government, public, and religious sites, supported externally. Putin cited the millions who rallied in support of the system as evidence of the true situation.
Both leaders confirmed that bilateral cooperation (trade, investment, energy, transport) is proceeding very well. Putin affirmed Russia’s commitment to expanding ties and stated diplomatic efforts are underway internationally to explain Iran’s position and prevent escalation.
