Russia’s military attack on Ukraine has profound consequences not only for the Middle East, but also for the world. The political-security relations of the two countries have been affected by this war. Since the beginning of Russia’s military attack on Ukraine, Tehran has accepted Moscow’s logic for these operations and has shown its political support in the United Nations General Assembly but has been cautious in fully supporting this war. Iran’s approach to the war in Ukraine is important in two ways. First, Iran’s orientation regarding this war affects Tehran’s relations with Moscow. Second, this orientation affects Iran’s interests in the international system. The main question of this article is, “How was Iran’s behavior regarding the war in Ukraine and what effect did it have on the relations between Tehran and Moscow?” The hypothesis of the authors is that “Iran’s approach to the war in Ukraine has been cautious: it has not condemned Russia’s attack on Ukraine, but it has not supported it, which is a policy aimed at preserving and continuing the relations between the two countries.” This article examines the behavior of the Islamic Republic of Iran against the war in Ukraine and its effect on the country’s relations with Russia. The authors’ method in this research is qualitative with a descriptive-analytical approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
