Iranian Parliament approves draft law on strategic treaty with Russia
The Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran (parliament) approved the "General Principles of the Draft Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between Iran and the Russian Federation" on Wednesday.
Iran's Tasnim News Agency reported that "this ratification was approved with 191 votes in favor, 8 against, and 2 abstentions, out of a total of 201 votes."
Last April, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law ratifying the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement with Iran, according to a statement published on the official website of the Russian government's laws and decrees.
According to the statement, "The agreement was signed on January 17, 2025, during Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's visit to Moscow."
According to the document, the two sides seek to deepen and expand relations in all areas of mutual interest, enhance cooperation in the field of security and defense, and closely coordinate activities at the regional and global levels, consistent with a long-term, comprehensive, and strategic partnership.
According to the statement, "The two sides agreed that if one of the parties is subjected to aggression, the other party will not provide any assistance to the aggressor."
The statement stated that "Russia and Iran will jointly contribute to promoting peace in the Caspian Sea region, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Middle East."
According to the agreement, "Russia and Iran may carry out joint investments in the economies of third countries, and they also support international Internet governance with equal rights for all states."
It is worth noting that the comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between Russia and Iran was concluded for a period of 20 years, with automatic extension for subsequent five-year periods.

Araghchi: Grossi's deputy will arrive in Tehran tomorrow, will not visit any site before framework is reached
Tehran - Saba: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on Sunday that the Deputy Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Massimo Aparo, will arrive in Tehran tomorrow, stressing: "There is no plan to visit any site unless a framework is reached." In a statement to reporters on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting, Araghchi said: "There will be no visit to any site before a framework is reached, and cooperation will not begin. This framework will be based on the law of the Shura Council." Regarding contacts between Iran and the Europeans, he explained: "Our contacts with the Europeans are ongoing. They raised the issue of the immediate restoration of sanctions (the trigger mechanism), and our position is that this mechanism is no longer relevant. From our perspective, Europe is not considered a party to the nuclear agreement. There are, of course, technical and legal discussions, and my colleagues are in contact with the Europeans, but no date has been set for any next round of negotiations."

Putin says UAE could host Trump summit
"We have many friends who are willing to help us organise such events. One of our friends is the president of the United Arab Emirates," Putin said standing next to UAE leader Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, adding "it (the UAE) would be one of the quite suitable places". The Kremlin said Thursday that a summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin was set for the "coming days", both sides having already agreed the venue "in principle". The Russian President, however, said that "conditions" for a potential meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky had not been met, hours after the Ukrainian leader repeated a call for direct talks. "I have nothing against it in general, it is possible, but certain conditions must be created for this. But unfortunately, we are still far from creating such conditions," Putin told reporters at the Kremlin. The summit between Trump and Putin would be the first between sitting US and Russian presidents since Joe Biden met Putin in Geneva in June 2021. It comes as Trump seeks to broker an end to Russia's military operation on Ukraine. Three rounds of direct talks between Moscow and Kyiv have failed to yield any progress towards a ceasefire. The two sides appear as far apart as ever in the conditions they have set for an end to the more than three-year-long conflict. Trump said Wednesday he was likely to meet Putin face-to-face "very soon." They last sat together in 2019 at G20 summit meeting in Japan but have spoken by phone several times since Trump returned to the White House. "At the suggestion of the American side, an agreement has been reached in principle to hold a bilateral summit in the coming days," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Thursday in a Kremlin statement. "We are now starting to work out the details together with our American colleagues," he added. The Kremlin said a venue had also been agreed "in principle", but did not name it.
