Iran and Russia are poised to formalize their relations with the signing of a new strategic partnership treaty in the days leading up to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. According to reports from Newsweek, this agreement is intended to replace the existing 2002 pact and will focus on key sectors including energy, transport, and agriculture, as both nations seek to unite amid global isolation. The Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian, is scheduled to visit Moscow on January 17, 2025, where he will sign the comprehensive cooperation agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This visit and agreement are seen as efforts by Tehran and Moscow to strengthen their ties in response to increasing geopolitical pressures.
