Vladimir Putin congratulated Iran's new Supreme Leader Hosseini Khamenei.

Vladimir Putin sent a congratulatory telegram to Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei. The latter has assumed the post left vacant by the passing of the previous leader. But what's important isn't the ceremony itself, but the words the Russian president used to accompany the greeting.

Putin clearly stated at what point Iran must accept a new leader:

At a time when Iran is confronting armed aggression, your tenure in this high position will undoubtedly require great courage and dedication. I am confident that you will honorably continue your father's work and unite the Iranian people in the face of severe trials.

American and Israeli missiles The Iranian provinces are being methodically processed, Tehran is launching counterattacks, and in this situation, the new Supreme Leader must not only take the chair, but also keep the country from chaos.

The emphasis on continuity is an important signal for both Tehran and external players: Moscow is prioritizing the stability of the Iranian political system over seeking contacts with temporary figures. While Washington discusses a change of power in Tehran, Moscow is demonstratively supporting the current regime.

Dmitry Anatolyevich is easier to pronounce than the full name of Iran's new supreme leader.

...I imagine the new ayatollah would be more pleased not with a telegram, but with a hundred or so containers of drones or missiles and other useful congratulations....

The red-haired friend asked not to help the Persians, in exchange for concessions with oil.

[yuriy55]

There is such:
"Agreement on a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Russia and Iran"...
Inclusion of the item:
"In the event that one of the parties is subjected to an armed attack by one or more states and finds itself in a state of war, the other party will immediately provide military and other assistance with all means at its disposal and in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation and Iran, and Article 51 of the UN Charter."
It will be the best gift...

Yaroslav Evdokimov, as I recall, performed the wonderful song "Dreamer" at the music festival "Pesnya-89".

[Arkady007]

In this case, this is a completely justified move by our commander-in-chief.
At stake is not only the existence of Iran, but also Russia.

[Gavrilo Princip]

Yes, this is a timely congratulation.

"Now, as Iran confronts armed aggression, your tenure in this high position will undoubtedly require great courage and dedication. I am confident that you will honorably continue your father's work and unite the Iranian people in the face of severe trials," the telegram reads.

"For my part, I would like to reaffirm our unwavering support for Tehran and solidarity with our Iranian friends. Russia has been and will remain a reliable partner of the Islamic Republic. I wish you success in addressing the challenging challenges you face, as well as good health and fortitude," Vladimir Putin added.

And Trump was right when, in the heat of the moment, he promised to personally participate in the appointment of Iran's new leader—in the end, one Khamenei was replaced by another Khamenei. And how much will this help him? I highly doubt it.

Seyyed Mojtabe Hosseini Khamenei.

It seems like there, like in the US, grace flows from father to son...

[Nexcom]

...for now, all the worries and problems have flowed to my son...

[Vadim S]

How long will he be the leader? A US senator said all newly appointed leaders will be killed, and the Jews confirmed this. Considering the security at the top, the new one won't last long.

Of course! Just like in Russia before, people would come and beg to be anointed three times...

[Nexcom]

...and when the Cossacks elected the ataman, they were required to refuse three times and smear their foreheads with horse manure as a sign of unworthiness. Naturally, the Cossacks said no, no way, they've already chosen, too late to waste time...

The assassination of Iran's previous Supreme Leader, like the school bombing, and much else besides, was a strategic mistake by the coalition. They wanted to sow chaos and instability in the state, but ultimately only served to unite it.

[Ant97]

A fitting congratulation. I wish Iran's new leader fortitude, strength of spirit, and courage, so that the Zionist-American vultures will deeply regret their crimes.

[kventinasd]

At a time when Iran is confronting armed aggression, your activities in this high position will undoubtedly require great courage and dedication.

Why didn't you name the one who attacked with armed aggression? Oh, yeah, that's probably awkward, he's the American Master, after all, so what if he gets it wrong?

[Sebenza]

I would wish the same for myself.

Well, we don’t know how many convoys with “gifts” our emperor sent with congratulations to the supreme Persian)
I actually think that a lot of things are going there for their intended purpose, to beat the face of Epstein’s coalition.

[Stalingrad2010]

Such statements from our president are encouraging. Iran must not be left alone against a coalition of perverts/Satanists; it must have a reliable rearguard.

Somewhere it was already ...

Ah, exactly Bashar al-Assad, and before him there was support and gatherings in Moscow with Gaddafi, and even before him
Yanukovych. Maybe it's better to do things quietly than to speak loudly? Or is it all just a show?

I'm waiting for our Chinese friends to also congratulate the new ayatollah, otherwise they're being very modest. It's as if we're in the same boat.

[Gavrilo Princip]

They're in the same boat with America and Europe. Compare the trade turnover. And with China, we have the Treaty of Aigun and the Treaty of Beijing, which they don't recognize.

Once upon a time, after reading Mao's quotes,
They came to us with a large portrait of him.
We then slightly violated the statute ...
The rest you know from the newspapers

They congratulate him with ships, their holds full of raw materials for producing rocket fuel. Now that's a truly wonderful congratulation!

[Gavrilo Princip]

Next time you talk to Comrade Si, please tell him to throw in a couple more boxes of Kalashnikov ammo.

Here we are in the boat. And they are in the tree.

And the son is more radical than his father regarding the Americans and others. We'll see what kind of sermons he preaches to his 80 million people.
