Russia and Iran Forge New Comprehensive Treaty

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova announced that Moscow is working on a large, comprehensive treaty with Iran. This agreement aims to reflect the strengthening bilateral cooperation between the two nations. The treaty is reportedly in the final stages of negotiation, following an 'unprecedented upswing' in their relations.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday that Moscow was working on what she called a big treaty with Iran.

Her comment appeared to be a reference to a comprehensive bilateral cooperation agreement that is being negotiated between Tehran and Moscow.

In January, Russia's Foreign Ministry said that a new interstate treaty reflecting the "unprecedented upswing" in Russia-Iran ties was in the final stages of being agreed.
