Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met in Moscow on January 17, 2025, to sign a 20-year Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement, establishing a roadmap for cooperation between the two nations. The agreement covers areas including economic ties, security and defense collaboration, and technological and humanitarian cooperation, aiming to strengthen relations without posing a threat to other countries, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Notably, the pact does not include a mutual defense clause, unlike Russia's agreements with North Korea and Belarus.

The leaders discussed Iran's nuclear program and regional issues, including the situations in Syria, Palestine, and the Caucasus.
