Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Iranian counterpart Abbas Araqchi met in New York on Thursday, with Moscow stating both agreed only diplomacy could resolve tensions in the Middle East ignited by the US-Israeli conflict against Iran, according to Russia’s Foreign Ministry. The meeting, held at the UN General Assembly, focused on regional and international issues, with both sides emphasizing the necessity of a diplomatic resolution to the crisis provoked by the unlawful actions of the United States and Israel.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a strategic cooperation partnership in 2025, deepening bilateral ties and defense cooperation, although no mutual defense clause is included. Pezeshkian expressed gratitude to Putin for Moscow’s stance on the Iran war, stating that together, Moscow and Tehran can resist what he called US "unilateralism."
When asked if the conflict could end by the year's end, Pezeshkian stated it is up to the US to decide when the war would conclude.
