According to the statement, "The agreement was signed on January 17, 2025, during Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's visit to Moscow."
According to the document, the two sides seek to deepen and expand relations in all areas of mutual interest, enhance cooperation in the field of security and defense, and closely coordinate activities at the regional and global levels, consistent with a long-term, comprehensive, and strategic partnership.
According to the statement, "The two sides agreed that if one of the parties is subjected to aggression, the other party will not provide any assistance to the aggressor."
The statement stated that "Russia and Iran will jointly contribute to promoting peace in the Caspian Sea region, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Middle East."
According to the agreement, "Russia and Iran may carry out joint investments in the economies of third countries, and they also support international Internet governance with equal rights for all states."
It is worth noting that the comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between Russia and Iran was concluded for a period of 20 years, with automatic extension for subsequent five-year periods.

Iranian Foreign Minister: Zionist aggression against Iran is devastating blow to rule of law
Tehran - Saba Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, in his speech at the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, emphasized that the Zionist military aggression against Iran was a fatal blow to diplomacy, the rule of law, and the nuclear non-proliferation regime. He pointed out that Iran's nuclear program is peaceful and under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). He called on the international community to stand against the crimes of the Zionist entity, emphasizing that the US and Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities constitute a serious violation of the UN Charter, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and Security Council Resolution 2231. He explained that this aggression resulted in the deaths and injuries of more than 6,000 people and caused extensive damage to infrastructure and nuclear facilities. He warned of the danger of targeting a developing, non-nuclear state by nuclear regimes supported by major powers. Araqchi called on BRICS, as the voice of the Global South, to play its role in upholding international law and UN principles, particularly sovereignty, the non-use of force, and the peaceful resolution of disputes.
