He also called for improvements in the situations in Yemen and Lebanon and an end to what he described as genocide in Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Iranian foreign minister further stressed the need to curb what he called Israel\u2019s dangerous expansionism. He said insecurity in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz was a consequence of what he described as US and Israeli aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at the same press conference, Lavrov described his talks with Araghchi as detailed and positive. He said Russia remained committed to implementing its strategic cooperation document with Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lavrov added that Moscow was ready to provide diplomatic assistance between Iran and the United States and help find an acceptable solution to the ongoing crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian foreign minister also said Russia was committed to continuing work at the Bushehr nuclear power plant. He stressed that all countries should be treated equally in international forums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lavrov condemned what he described as US and Israeli aggression against Iran and reaffirmed Russia\u2019s commitment to continued cooperation with Tehran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tehran: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has blamed the United States for insecurity and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, stressing that diplomacy and political engagement are essential to achieving&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7516,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[57,282,1440,254],"class_list":["post-7515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-iran","tag-russia","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-united-states"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
