🇷🇺🇮🇷📞On March 3, Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey Lavrov and Foreign Minister of Iran Abbas Araghchi spoke over the phone. The Ministers discussed developments in the region following the unprovoked armed aggression by the US and Israel against Iran. They emphasized that such actions undermine the fundamental norms of international law and entail extremely grave consequences for the entire Middle East. This position was clearly reaffirmed by the Russian representative at a meeting of the UN Security Council. Sergey Lavrov reiterated Russia’s principled stance in favour of de-escalation, the rejection of the use of force and a return to a political and diplomatic settlement of the conflict, confirming Russia’s readiness to facilitate this by all available means. The priority of ensuring the safety of civilians and civilian infrastructure in all countries of the region was also underscored. #RussiaIran
