Iran's security chief delivers supreme leader's message to Putin

With U.S. President Donald Trump under pressure to end the war following his crushing defeat in the U.S. midterm elections, Iran's security chief delivered the supreme leader's message to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to Iranian state media on the 5th (local time), Secretary-General of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Mohsen Rezai visited Moscow, Russia and met with President Putin.

Iranian media reported that Secretary-General Rezai delivered a message from Iran's Supreme Leader Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei to President Putin.

The Russian President's Office (Kremlin) also announced that President Putin met with Secretary-General Rezai at the Kremlin Palace.

However, the content of Supreme Leader Khamenei's message to President Putin was not made public.

The Iranian regime, which has suffered from a strong maritime blockade and economic sanctions imposed by the United States during the war, has sought a way to survive by expanding cooperation with Russia and China.
