“Dollar must be removed from global transactions”

Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, and his entourage met with Imam Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, this afternoon, July 19, 2022. The following are some of the main points Imam Khamenei stated during this meeting.

  • World events show Iran and Russia’s need for increasing mutual cooperation. This cooperation is deeply beneficial to both countries. The numerous memorandums of understanding and contracts between the two, including in oil and gas sectors, should be followed up and fulfilled to the end.
     
  • War is a hostile, harsh matter and the Islamic Republic never favors seeing ordinary people afflicted by wars. However, in the issue of Ukraine, had Russia not initiated taking action, the other side would have started a war. NATO is a dangerous entity. The West is totally opposed to a strong, independent Russia. If the way is opened for NATO, it will recognize no limits. If it hadn’t been stopped in Ukraine, it would have later started a similar war in Crimea.
     
  • ​Iran’s stance is opposition to a military attack on Syria, such an action should be prevented. Another important issue in Syria is the usurping of fertile, oil-rich regions to the east of the Euphrates by the Americans. This should be solved by expelling them from the region.
     
  • The Islamic Republic will not tolerate policies or plans that lead to the closing of the Iran-Armenia border.
     
  • Iran and Russia’s long-term cooperation is greatly, deeply beneficial to both countries. You, Mr. Putin, and our President are people who take action and follow up on it. Thus, cooperation between the two countries should reach a peak in this period.
