00:20As the Middle East crisis deepens, a powerful message from Moscow is making headlines.
00:26Russian President Vladimir Putin has openly backed Iran, calling Russia a loyal friend at
00:33a time when Tehran faces one of its biggest crises in decades.
00:39The statement came during New Rose, just weeks after the February 28th strikes by the United
00:45States and Israel that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
00:49Russia didn't hold back.
00:51Moscow called the attack a pre-planned and unprovoked act of aggression, and described
00:57Khamenei's killing as a cynical murder that violated global law.
01:01Putin also reached out to Iran's new leadership, including Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei
01:07and President Masoud Pazishkian, promising support as Iran faces what he called harsh
01:13trials—a clear signal that Moscow stands firmly with Tehran.
01:17But beyond statements, there's a deeper story.
01:22Russia and Iran have quietly built a powerful partnership, from drones and fighter jets to
01:28missile systems and intelligence sharing—a relationship designed to bypass Western sanctions
01:33and counter global pressure.
01:35And now, the war is reshaping global economics.
01:39After Iran's retaliation disrupted the Strait of Hormuz—a route carrying nearly 20 percent
01:44of global oil—the world is facing a massive energy shock.
01:48Prices have surged past $100 per barrel.
01:52And here's the twist.
01:54Russia is benefiting.
01:56Oil revenues are soaring.
01:58Sanctions are easing under global pressure.
02:00And Moscow is stepping in as a key energy supplier.
02:04So while Iran faces the brunt of military escalation, Russia is emerging stronger—economically and
02:11strategically—a crisis for one ally becoming an opportunity for another.
02:17And the global balance of power may never be the same.
02:21Uh.
02:24Yeah.
