Iran, Russia Maintain Continuous Contact Over Ukrainian Caspian Sea Attack, Says Iranian Envoy

Tehran - BORNA - In an interview with TASS, Jalali stated that Iranian and Russian defense ministries remain in constant communication regarding the incident.

"Due to the extensive scope of bilateral cooperation, officials from both countries—including representatives from the foreign ministries, defense departments, and other relevant bodies—maintain regular and continuous coordination," Jalali noted. He added that this close interaction highlights the depth of strategic ties between Iran and Russia, particularly in facing shared security challenges.

The envoy also confirmed that Iran will continue implementing a special passage mechanism for Russian vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz. "Naturally, a special regime is established for friendly nations, and this mechanism will remain in place," Jalali said.

Responding to a question regarding potential Yemeni Ansarullah movement involvement in retaliatory strikes against U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf region, Jalali stated: "What matters to us is that Yemen and the Ansarullah movement are independent, and they will make their own decisions at the appropriate time."
