Putin pledges support to Iran in war with US at SCO summit in Bishkek

At the SCO summit in Bishkek, Putin told Pezeshkian that Moscow is providing necessary assistance to Tehran in its war with the US, without specifying the nature of support. This marks a notable escalation in Russian-Iranian alignment against the US, though the scope and form of aid remain unclear. The pledge could signal deeper military cooperation, potentially affecting regional balances and energy markets.
