LONDON/DUBAI, July 19 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran on Tuesday, the Kremlin leader's first trip outside the former Soviet Union since Moscow's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.

During his visit to Tehran, Putin will also hold his first face-to-face meeting since the invasion with a NATO leader, Turkey's Tayyip Erdogan, to discuss a deal that would resume Ukraine's Black Sea grain exports as well as peace in Syria.

Putin's trip, which comes just days after U.S. President Joe Biden visited Israel and Saudi Arabia, sends a strong message to the West about Moscow's plans to forge closer strategic ties with Iran, China and India in the face of Western sanctions.

 

Putin visiting Iran in his first trip otside the former URSS since February 24 is not insignificant. Russia wants to integrate Iran in the anti-Western ''Eurasian alliance''. Russia deepings its ties with Iran would give Russia a valuable stronghold in the Middle East and help Russia win over the Shia Muslim world.

Sunni and Shia are the two largest branches of Islam. In the Middle East Saudi Arabia sees itself as the leader of the Sunni world while Iran sees itself as the leader of the Shia world.
