The article is devoted to the impact of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine on relations between Iran and the Russian Federation. Tehran was sympathetic to Russia's launch of a special military operation in Ukraine. Iran’s position can be explained by the fact that Ukraine is not a direct neighbor of Iran, economic relations between the two states are poorly developed, while the Iranian authorities consider Russia a strategic partner. Cooperation between Russia and Iran countries covers energy, military and trade spheres. The development of relations between Iran and the Russian Federation is of particular importance in connection with the international sanctions imposed on both countries.
