币界网报道：Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly informed Iran that Russia cannot provide financial assistance to the country due to its own economic struggles, according to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal. The refusal comes as Iran faces increasing economic isolation and sanctions pressure, particularly from the U.S. Despite their close geopolitical ties, Russia's financial constraints—exacerbated by Western sanctions over the Ukraine war—have limited its ability to support allies. The two nations have strengthened military and economic cooperation in recent years, including discussions around a 20-year strategic partnership agreement. However, Russia's own economic challenges, including a shrinking GDP and rising inflation, have forced Moscow to prioritize domestic stability over foreign aid. The situation highlights the broader economic strain on both nations as they navigate international sanctions and regional conflicts.
