Less than a week after the U.S. assassinated Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a rare visit to his Middle Eastern ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Russian President Vladimir Putin met Tuesday with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad less than a week after the United States killed a top Iranian military commander who helped lead their war against rebels and jihadis.

A separate statement by Assad's office said the pair"also discussed plans to eliminate terrorism that threatens the security and safety of the Syrian citizens in Idlib, the developments in the Syrian north and the measures that Turkey is doing there, in addition to supporting the political track and preparing conditions are right for it."

Iran officially entered the fight against ISIS in Iraq and Syria in June 2014, with a U.S.-led coalition soon following suit. Since then, Soleimani attended up to two dozen major meetings across Iraq, Syria, Lebanon andin Russia, coordinating efforts to mobilize mostly Shiite Muslim militias from as far away as Afghanistan and Pakistan to back Baghdad and Damascus.

Russia and Iran have no formal military agreement, but they recently waged their first trilateral drills alongside China and, on Monday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu spoke by telephone with the Iranian military's chief of staff Mohammad Bagheri.
