Iran prefers the EU's discretion and apparent respect for its ideological red lines, in contrast with Donald Trump's ostentatious and menacing style. So the growing rift between the U.S. and EU over resolving the Ukraine-Russia war may be a welcome chance for Tehran to revive secret contacts it loves so much with an EU in search of diplomatic clout.

Though it supplied Russia with weapons to attack Ukraine, Iran lavished praise on Zelenskyy for standing up to Trump

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, said that the Oval Office meeting proves the United States can't be trusted.

The war drastically altered Russo-Iranian relations. As the conflict dragged on, Russia found itself increasingly isolated, burdened by international sanctions, and militarily unprepared for a prolonged fight.

President Donald Trump's nominee for the top policy job at the Pentagon is acknowledging that Russia invaded Ukraine and poses a significant military threat to the U.S. and Europe.

Abbas Araghchi criticized what he described as "verbal tensions" and "quick-tempered policies" after the Trump-Zelensky meeting.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei decried “bullying governments” in an apparent response to a letter the White House sent to Iran earlier in the week.

Over the past three years, the partnership has become deeper still, as Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine, and the resulting Western pressure, have helped transform Russia into an international pariah. That has turned the Islamic Republic into something resembling a lifeline for Mr. Putin’s government.

The letter appears to be President Trump’s opening bid to see if a newly vulnerable Iran is willing to negotiate.
