Putin Slams US Strikes as ‘Unjustified Aggression’ Amid Iran-Israel Tensions

Russian President Vows Support for Iranian People, Warns of Energy Market Instability

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday denounced the US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, calling them an “unprovoked” and “unjustified aggression.” During a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Moscow, Putin affirmed that Russia is actively working to support the Iranian people. The Kremlin also stated that both Putin and the visiting Iraqi Prime Minister expressed deep concern over the global energy market’s stability as tensions escalate in the Middle East. Putin’s remarks reflect growing geopolitical unease over the Iran-Israel conflict and its broader impact on international diplomacy and oil markets.
