The dictator of the Russian Federation publicly expressed his support for the Ayatollahs' regime.

Iran has impressed the entire world with the resilience and courage of its people and the “deep bench” of its leadership. This was stated by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in his speech at the Valdai Club’s plenary session.

““Of course, the whole world is closely following the events unfolding there and admiring the courage and heroism of the Iranian people and their resilience, as well as the deep ‘bench’ of leadership at the highest level,” the Russian dictator asserted.

He specifically noted that among the Iranian leadership at all levels—in the government, the military, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)—there are many people “ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their people”.
