Middle East Crisis Reactions to Israel-Iran

Iranian Foreign Minister in Russia: “Will Coordinate”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has landed in Russia and will meet with Vladimir Putin today to discuss the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.

This is reported by Iranian state media, which also published pictures of Araqchi getting off a plane at an unknown location in Russia.

“We will coordinate our positions regarding the ongoing escalation,” Araqchi said in a statement.

Russia has strongly condemned the US attack on Iran, which it says is a violation of international law. Vladimir Putin has previously denied that it is interested in mediating between Iran and Israel.

“We are only putting forward ideas, if they then prove attractive to both parties, we are only happy,” he said on Friday.
