Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday assured Tehran of Mocow’s support in de-escalating the Israel-Iran conflict hours after the US strikes at Iranian nuclear sites at dawn on Sunday.
Putin met Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who came to Moscow on Sunday night for consultations with the Russian leadership and was expected to deliver a letter from Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Stating that Araghchi is visiting Russia at a dramatic moment of sharp aggravation of the situation “in the region and around your country,” Putin, in his opening remarks at the televised Kremlin meet, reiterated Moscow’s position on Iran-Israel conflict as was articulated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
