TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi tells his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin that NATO expansion is a “serious threat,” hours after Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine.

“NATO expansion is a serious threat to the stability and security of independent countries in different regions,” Raisi says in a telephone call with Putin, according to the Iranian presidency.

Raisi expressed hope that “what was happening” would benefit “the nations and the region,” a statement adds. It doesn’t elaborate.
