Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has dispatched FM Abbas Araqchi to Moscow to urge President Putin for stronger support after the U.S.’s largest air strikes on Iranian nuclear sites since 1979 . The U.S. and Israel have floated the prospect of targeting Khamenei and pushing for regime change. Putin has condemned Israeli strikes but remained silent on U.S. actions, while offering calm mediation and continuing nuclear cooperation. Tehran is dissatisfied with Russia’s current stance and seeks undisclosed concessions. Araqchi will hand-deliver Khamenei’s letter and coordinate responses, though Putin seems cautious amid his own war in Ukraine .
