Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi is supposed to hand Russian President Vladimir Putin a letter from Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with a request for more support amid the U.S.

Mr Araghchi arrived in Moscow on Sunday to hold talks with the Russian leadership.

Iranian sources told the news agency that Tehran “has not been impressed’’ with the level of support from Moscow and wanted Russia to take stronger measures in backing Iran against Israel and the U.S.

However, the sources did not specify what additional assistance Tehran was seeking, Reuters said.
