Tehran and Moscow have been deepening economic ties since the start of the war in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the National Iranian Oil Company and Russian energy giant Gazprom signed a memorandum of understanding in July to develop oil and gas fields in Iran and to work on a liquefied natural gas project.

The countries have"continued efforts to deepen economic ties," the Institute for the Study of War said on Monday. This reiterated its analysis published on January 23 in which it said that closer financial and military ties between Tehran and Moscow were"in an effort to engage in mutually beneficial sanctions evasion."with Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in Tehran.

Moscow and Tehran have always collaborated significantly, economically and militarily, but the war in Ukraine"is what has brought them closer to each other," said"Iran was tested by hefty economic sanctions for years. In the same way, Russia is now tasting the Western sanctions, which is in a way a common pain and so impelled them to expand economic cooperation as much as possible," he told Newsweek.

"Perhaps the most fundamental question that remains is whether Iran and Russia will continue this expansion of cooperation if the imposed sanctions against each of them are lifted." However, Bagheri said that Iran doesn't keep the door of diplomacy open in the same way that Russia does, even in a time of crisis and this is"what will reduce the flexibility of cooperation," between the countries.
