Iran’s supreme leader sent his foreign minister to Moscow on Monday to ask Vladimir Putin for more help from Russia after the biggest U.S. military action against the Islamic Republic since the 1979 revolution over the weekend.

Donald Trump and Israel have publicly speculated about killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and about regime change, a step Russia fears could further destabilize the Middle East.

While Putin has condemned the Israeli strikes, he has yet to comment on the U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear sites though he last week called for calm and offered Moscow’s services as a mediator over the nuclear programme.

The fascists keep trying to pin the blame for the Ukraine-Russia war on Ukraine. Because fascists don’t want their targets to defend themselves.

Satire based on Trump’s rhetoric I’m assuming.

Sorry, Ali, Puto’s otherwise occupied throwing draftees in the path of Ukrainian drones.

Putin really shat the bed with the special military operation, didn’t he. By expending so many people and resources in Ukraine, he lost the ability to plausibly support his allies in the Middle East against attacks from Israel and the US. Had he not entered Ukraine, I don’t think Israel would have struck Iran like they did.

Iran, take a good look at the amount of military support Armenia received when reached out to Putin after an attack by Azerbaijan:

"Despite Armenia’s appeals for assistance from the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) and Russia during Azerbaijan’s incursions in May 2021 and September 2022, both entities declined to assist, leaving Armenia on its own.[62][63] "

And Armenia was a signatory on a mutual defense agreement CSTO. Iran isn’t.
