This photograph shows flowers laid at a makeshift altar with a portrait of late Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran outside the Iranian Embassy in Russia, in Moscow on March 2, 2026. Russian President on March 1 slammed the United States and Israel's killing of Khamenei as a "cynical violation" of morality and law. Tehran has stood by as one of Russia's closest allies throughout Moscow's Ukraine offensive, and the Kremlin had earlier called for restraint in the run-up to the US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
