“We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.” - Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston tl;dr - Alliances expire after 30 turns.

[@ryzziktrognesou1]

Because they are not in fact allies. The same applies to China and Russia: they are not allies. They are partners, gauging each other and trying to take advantage of their respective strengths and the context of their relationship. As soon as one of these partners no longer sees the point of the relationship, it slowly collapses and ends (or changes form). Geopolitics is not just about alliances, sworn enemies and other buzzwords. It is first and foremost about an internal and external balance of power.

Iran is a little different in that they are surrounded by a ton of regional powers that all have long histories of blood feuds and war with each other and foreign powers (like Russia and the U.S.). Their alliance is held together by their collective hatred for U.S. foreign policy dating back to the Cold War. The U.S. and U.S.S.R. made some very morally questionable alliances in its efforts to limit the expansion of Communism/Capitalism, and many of those consequences are still impacting those countries today. Because of that, I don't think the alliance will completely dissolve between them, although blaming the U.S. for systemic problems in their economy is more for their internal politics than it is a coherent community-building policy or an actual fix.

[@NJ-wb1cz]

There are no "alliances" in the world outside the context of war. There can be rhetoric that is beneficent for the dominant side in the "alliance", but if the weaker side takes the rhetoric seriously it just sets itself up for being fleeced as a resource base for their "ally". We're currently seeing this in the Eu relationship with the Us where Europeans seemingly actually believe in being in an alliance while the dominant side openly demolishes their economies with actively hostile policies aimed at exploit the weaknesses Europe has right now to the fullest

[@HairLessBush]

They said the same thing about NK Not sending troops because of security reasons.☠️

[@Avaricumstudios]

There's a phenomenon I've noticed recently, whereby every alliance in the world is analyzed using what I call the NATO litmus test i.e this alliance doesn't look like NATO (Which in itself has never been tested so...) so it will definitely fail, To say this is a wrong way of looking at things is an understatement, every alliance in this world has it's own unique objectives and reasons for existence e.g BRICS, a trade alliance is analysed like it's a military grouping, which it is NOT. BRICS was to come along eventually, countries in the global majority are called the global majority for a reason ,they are the majority and each year their economies grow and trade volumes between them grow ,they often have very different objectives to the global minority countries and the current system as it is was set up to cater to the interests of the global minority countries and these countries are unwilling to reform the system to accommodate the growing needs of these countries especially with regards to trade so you have BRICS forming. BRICS is not a rival even to the west, it's just an alliance created to cater to the needs of developing countries. The reality is Russia and Iran don't need to have a NATO-like alliance , not even close, they are countries that are basically untouchable , no one in their right minds will ever try to invade Russia or even Iran, the juice ain't worth the squeeze. Iran is 3 times the size of Texas, you'd need a million men at least to get to Iran , and bring them by ship and look for areas to deploy them and find a way to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuke before you finish their deployment so tough luck. As long as Russia is getting Shahed drone tech from Iran, to use in Ukraine and Iran gets drone and missile factories built in Russia where no one can dare strike them, they will be fine. It's that simple, Israel/the US can shoot down a plane from Iraq to Lebanon/Syria but they won't dare touch a chinese transport plane under a Russian flag from Yekaterinburg to Beirut/Damascus, they won't even attempt to search it and that works for the Iranians

No, it doesn't. Armenia used its greater power to invade Azerbaijan in the 1980 and have been occupying it for decades since without actually fully declaring the occupied regions its own territory. Which is the reason for the tensions and rhetoric now that Azerbaijan became more powerful and returned control over its territory. But claiming that they now want your capital is absurd self victimization and cry bullying.

It is at least to their own mutual benefit that they are both mostly self sufficient in their defense needs.

I doubt Russia is going to fold if they lose their allies in Iran and NK, maybe they will begin to struggle if China takes a tougher stand but that’s not happening since China at this point would rather not be alone, just in case.

The first part of this video about the Zangezur corridor is misleading. Armenia is open to allowing transport links from Azerbaijan to its enclave, Nakhchivan, but insists that the corridor must respect its sovereignty and jurisdiction. Azerbaijan, on the other hand, seeks an extraterritorial corridor guarded by Russian forces, which Armenia finds unacceptable. No nation would agree to relinquish control over its own roads. Additionally, Azerbaijan’s proposal poses a threat to Armenia's border with Iran, which both countries cannot tolerate, as it would cut off Armenia from its vital connection to Iran. The Armenian government has proposed a "Crossroads of Peace" project aimed at enhancing transportation links in the region while respecting each nation’s territorial integrity. The video inaccurately states that Armenia signed a peace treaty under duress. During the war, while Armenia did sign a treaty, it did not express that it was pressured to do so. Furthermore, the treaty does not include any clause for Russian border guards on the corridor; it simply calls for the opening of transport links, which Armenia supports.

Remember that this "warming" started long before Pezeshkian, and before the pager operation and the elimination of Nasrallah. At the time Iran's geopolitical position looked much better.
