— 🇮🇷/🇷🇺 NEW: Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman confirms that the Iran-Russia bilateral treaty will be signed in late January

The comprehensive strategic partnership agreement will mark a major development in Iran-Russia relations. It will include investment, vast economic ties, knowledge sharing, and extensive military cooperation.

There is speculation that it will even include a mutual defense agreement, with the obligation to defend each other to some capacity, if one of two nations is attacked.
