Putin Reneges on Russia’s Treaty with Iran
Paul Craig Roberts
From John Helmer’s report:
Unspoken in public for the time being is the discussion among Russian political and military leaders on what Putin’s surprise statement revoking the terms of the Russian pact with Iran means to the remaining treaty allies, China and North Korea. “With regard to the Strategic Treaty,” Putin has announced for the “Treaty on the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation” he signed on January 17, 2025 — “there are no articles related to the defence sphere.”
Moscow knows this is false.
Putin has discredited himself. He pretends that a Western strike on Russia’s strategic forces is not an act of war and now he has green-lighted an Israeli/US war with Iran. The extraordinary weakness and irresolution emanating from the Kremlin will result in a major war. Without the weight of Russia and China to contain war, there is nothing to stop Washington and Israel.
