MOSCOW: Iran has received its second large shipment of humanitarian aid from Russia, consisting of 313 tons of medicines, according to the Russian Emergencies Ministry.
The ministry stated that the pharmaceuticals were delivered by rail to the Iranian city of Astara, where they were handed over to authorized Iranian officials. The operation was carried out on the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This follows an earlier delivery in which 13 tons of medical supplies were transported to Iran via Il-76 aircraft through Azerbaijan. In addition, Russian citizens evacuated from conflict-affected areas in Iran were also flown out through Azerbaijan.
The aid highlights continued humanitarian cooperation between Russia and Iran amid ongoing regional tensions, focusing on medical support and assistance to affected populations.
