TEHRAN -- Russia and China are moving to bolster ties with Iran following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi, with his eventual successor expected to maintain a hard line against the U.S. and Europe.
Vyacheslav Volodin, chairman of Russia's State Duma, and Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing attended a memorial service in Tehran Wednesday for Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, who were both killed in a helicopter crash Sunday.
