Western countries are about to "laugh crookedly" because of the fierce quarrel between Russia and Iran, the two countries that give them a lot of headaches, why do you say that Putin has to learn from China this time?
Recently, fierce contradictions have erupted between Iran and Russia, and Iran recently summoned the Russian Chargé d'Affaires in Iran and asked him to submit a note strongly reinforcing Moscow's joint statement on sovereignty over the three islands in the Persian Gulf at the Russian Cooperation Forum.
In its statement, the Russian side called for a peaceful resolution of the dispute between Iran and the UAE over the disputed islands. The three islands, located near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, are currently under Tehran's absolute control, but the United Arab Emirates also claims sovereignty.
Russia has called on Iran to settle the dispute through peace talks with the United Arab EmiratesNo wonder Iran's ** are furious. After all, Russia is also a close partner of Iran, and it would choose to betray Iran's interests.
It is reported that Iran has told Russian diplomats positively that respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity is one of the basic norms of foreign affairs, and Tehran will not compromise with any side in this regard.
It is worth noting that this is the second bitter quarrel between Iran and Russia this year. In July of this year, they had already sent a similar note to Moscow expressing their dissatisfaction. This is exactly what Western countries want to see, and it is estimated that their mouths are now "crooked". After all, Iran and Russia are both "thorns in the side" of Western countries, and if a conflict breaks out between the two sides, it will definitely be great news for the West.
However, while arguing, Iran and Russia have not completely lost their minds. Iranian Parliament Speaker Kalibaf directly said that Russia must be careful of being used by Western countries. Lavrov also expressed to the Iranian side Russia's firm position on respecting Iran's territorial integrity.
In the eyes of analysts, the contradictions that broke out between Russia and Iran this time are not necessarily a bad thing for both sides. Although these quarrels have made Western countries watch a good show, they have given the two countries a closer understanding. Moscow, for example, has clearly recognized that sovereignty over the three islands in the Persian Gulf is Iran's red line. In the future, the two sides will try their best to avoid getting too entangled in this issue and causing unnecessary contradictions.
It is inconceivable that "sworn enemies" like Iran and Saudi Arabia can reach a reconciliation under the coordination of the Chinese side. Russia, on the other hand, has caused contradictions before the UAE and Iran, which has made Western countries see a "joke", and the gap is quite big in such a comparison. Therefore, in terms of how to resolve the contradictions in the Middle East and properly handle the relations between various countries, Putin really has to learn from China. (Nothing missing).
