Putin made the remarks in a phone call with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Tuesday. The leaders discussed what the Kremlin called “retaliatory measures taken by Iran” after an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital, Damascus, on April 1.

Russia, which has forged close ties with both Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and several Arab leaders, has repeatedly scolded the West for ignoring the need for an independent Palestinian state within 1967 borders.
“Both sides stated that the root cause of the current events in the Middle East is the unresolved Palestinian-Israeli conflict,” the Kremlin said of the call with Raisi.

Putin, who in 2022 visited Khamenei, congratulated Raisi and all Muslims on the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

President Trump droned Soleimani. Lol!
Russia would be wise not to tangerine with the LORD GOD OF ISRAEL. But I don’t think they will. Just rhetorical condemnations.
Yeah, sure.
Yep.
Funny that “Christian” Russia only has Muslim allies.
Tell your Biden to support Israel, marcus.
Why does “Christian” Russia only have Muslim or atheist allies? Just asking questions…
Because the post-Christian west has left them with no choice but to align with China and allies the Russians had when the Soviet Union existed.
Serbia and Hungary are both aligned with Russia and both Christian.
And, let's just review who we have aligned with -- Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Muslim radicals that formed ISIS in Syria, Saudi Arabia and we've shipped off most of our manufacturing to China.
What Crimea airfield doink?
Chasiv Yar is a strategically important city located 10 kilometers from Bakhmut. It is situated on commanding heights, advantageous for defense and gives control over the surrounding area. It is currently under the full control of Kyiv but also under sustained attack from Russian troops.
“This is the dominant height in the region, and its control will allow the Russian invaders, if they achieve it, to significantly simplify the advance in the direction of Kostiantynivka and the direction of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk,” Voloshyn said.
