Iran’s ambassador to Russia has confirmed that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will visit Moscow on Monday for discussions on the latest developments surrounding negotiations, the ceasefire and related regional issues.
Kazem Jalali made the remarks to Iran’s state-linked ISNA news agency, highlighting what he described as close ties between Tehran and Moscow, reports Al Jazeera.
He said Araghchi’s visit will focus on “the latest status of negotiations, the ceasefire and surrounding developments.”
Jalali also noted ongoing high-level contacts between the two countries since the start of what he referred to as the “Ramadan War,” the term used by Iranian officials for the US-Israeli conflict involving Iran.
He added that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has spoken three times with Russian President Vladimir Putin since the escalation of hostilities began, underscoring continued diplomatic engagement between Tehran and Moscow.
Separately, Russia’s Foreign Ministry also confirmed Araghchi’s planned visit to Moscow in a statement carried by the state news agency RIA Novosti.
The visit comes amid continuing regional tensions following months of conflict and ceasefire efforts involving Iran, the United States and Israel, as diplomatic channels remain active but inconclusive.
