Russia in the 2026 Iran war

The involvement of Russia in the 2026 Iran war has encompassed a range of diplomatic, intelligence and logistical actions amid the conflict that began with coordinated airstrikes by Israel and the United States against Iran on 28 February 2026. Russia maintains a longstanding partnership with Iran, including economic ties and military cooperation, but its response to the war highlighted strategic caution rather than direct military intervention.
