Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who arrived in Moscow for high-level talks early on Monday, said he will hold a crucial meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss joint responses to emerging threats and shared challenges.

Axar.az informs speaking to reporters upon arrival in Moscow, Araghchi stressed the significance of the visit.

“Given the current exceptional circumstances in the region, it is essential that Iran and Russia engage in closer, more precise, and more serious consultations,” he said.

The top Iranian diplomat noted that these events have added urgency and depth to discussions with Moscow, including with President Putin.

“Naturally, our talks this time will be more serious and cover broader dimensions,” he said, suggesting that the talks would focus on American aggression and the Iranian response.

“We will have important and serious discussions with President Putin, and I am confident that the outcomes will benefit both countries.”

Notably, the meeting follows massive precision strikes by the U.S. military on three key nuclear facilities in Iran—Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan—marking the first instance of direct American military involvement in the rapidly escalating Iran-Israel conflict.
