01 · THE DISPATCH

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met with Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, on Friday evening, according to N12's Asaf Rozentzweig. Medvedev, a former Russian president and prime minister, currently serves as a senior security official under President Vladimir Putin. The meeting was reported by the Iranian side but no further details on the agenda, location, or duration of the talks have been disclosed. It comes amid ongoing international diplomatic activity involving Iran, including the recent US-Iran memorandum of understanding.

As The Zioneer has reported, Pezeshkian has engaged in a series of high-level meetings in recent weeks, including with Turkish President Erdogan, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the Qatari Emir, and Armenian PM Pashinyan. The meeting with Medvedev adds Russia — a key diplomatic and military partner of Iran — to that list, though the extent to which it relates to the US-Iran framework is not yet clear.
