Iran does not recognize the occupied territories of Ukraine by Russians. This can be called a diplomatic defeat for Russia, which has no allies.
Such an opinionChannel 24political scientist Andrey Vigirinsky expressed it. In general, Iran, as well as Serbia, suddenly abandoned Russia.
Iran is not necessarily Russia's ally
Vigirinsky said that Iran's position is natural. We think in absolute terms. If Iran supplies weapons, then it is an ally of Russia. This is the Russian narrative that China, Iran, North Korea are their allies. Even Russian analysts who emigrated from Russia wrote that military cooperation should not be confused with an alliance.
Such actions, which would be associated with the recognition of the sovereign territory of Ukraine as annexed by Russia, at the international level would go against the public mood that exists in Iran itself. Consequently, the Iranian authorities will not aggravate, at least in the diplomatic part, confrontations, the political scientist noted.
He added that they will not further excite the domestic audience, which already has many claims regarding domestic politics.
Vigirinsky on Iran's non-recognition of the occupied territories: watch the video military equipment. missiles and shahids are a separate technique. The reverse supply of attack aircraft and missile technology is a separate issue, but does not mean that politically Iran supports the annexation. China has such a position.
“We are buying energy resources, if you want finances, so that yours is accepted, we accept. However, what you are doing at the diplomatic level, we recognize the UN charter and do not plan to abandon it altogether. If you want, we can call it a diplomatic defeat for Russia “, Vigirinsky noted.
As he noted, the Russian media did not actually quote and did not discuss this issue, they did not suit Iran's diplomatic demarche. Therefore, it is one thing to sculpt for your audience that they are not alone in this war with the big hegemons, there are many of them offended, many allies.
Another thing is that the allies are exclusively in economic cooperation. In addition, one when you pay much more than you could pay if you did not violate the UN charter, the political scientist emphasized.
