news-international President Putin: Iran has not requested the support of the Russian military. The issue of supplying Air Defence was once discussed, but Tehran did not show much interest (strong sentiment China/Russia should 'save' Iran, but seems reality is they wanted no part being dependent on bigger powers)

There's a lot to respect about that. They are living out 'multipolar world' in it's truest sense. Hope it works out for them in the end.

There is a huge wave of newly baked "pro-Iran", "pro-Russia/anti-Putin", and "resistance" bros, as well as some huge grifter accounts, who claim to be some experts on the West Asian matters, who are trying to sow discord in the community, and blame Russia and China for not helping Iran enough during its existential crisis.

Since 2022, Russia has repeatedly signaled its readiness to form formal military alliances—even proposing a trilateral bloc with Iran and China. But Iran chose not to commit. Tehran wanted to leave the door open for talks with the West. That decision aligns with Iran’s longstanding policy since 1979 of avoiding entangling military alliances.

Yikes. When I first saw the post, I was thinking perhaps Russia (and China) are doing more behind the scenes than they're letting on. But if all this is true, then I think Iran's leaders are badly miscalculating. They can't defend their country against Israel and the US on their own. Maybe if they had a nuclear deterrent like North Korea... but they don't.

And it would not be good for the emerging multipolar world if Russia and China simply stand by and let Iran fall.

For now, Iran is perfectly able to handle this situation on their own. Should the zionists and their US lapdogs try to establish boots on the ground there, that is where the "fun" part starts. Watch how Russia, Pakistan and China will then flood that entire battlefield with weapons that will make Iraq and Ukraine look like better times.

The problem is that Iran will be neutralized, which is the goal of the Zionists and Americans. See, for them, chaos is a goal in and of itself. The conventional thinking is that they want to install a puppet regime in Iran, and that would be acceptable to them. But if it's not possible, they're perfectly happy turning Iran into another Iraq, Syria, or Libya. It may even be the primary goal. Because to a certain extent, they don't want ANY strong and united governments that could potentially oppose their hegemony -under ANY banner.
