A deal signed last week between Iran and Russia includes commitments to deepen the countries’ military, security and technological ties.
The agreement between the world’s two most sanctioned nations aims to elevate “friendly interstate relations between the countries to a new level,” according to a statement from the Kremlin. Parts of the agreement specifically address cooperation in cybersecurity and internet regulation.
Russia has signed similar strategic treaties with China and North Korea in the past, agreeing to share expertise in information technology and digital development.
Signed last Friday in Moscow by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian, the agreement stipulates the two countries will “expand cooperation in countering the use of information and communication technologies for criminal purposes.”
The countries also agreed to exchange expertise in managing national segments of the internet and to advocate for stronger control over the global digital space by creating rules for international tech companies.
