Iran’s Khamenei has three main messages for Putin at summit
Tehran wants to strengthen existing ties with Russia and develop new areas of cooperation while isolating the United States at the same time.
TEHRAN, Iran — On Nov. 1, Russian President Vladimir Putin went on a working visit to Tehran for the second trilateral Caspian Summit. His busy one-day agenda included encounters with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Hassan Rouhani and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
This is Putin’s third visit to Iran — the last time being November 2015, two months after the start of Russia’s military campaign in Syria.
