On April 9, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a telephone conversation with Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran Abbas Araghchi at the latter’s initiative.

Sergey Lavrov expressed hope for the success of the negotiating process and reaffirmed Russia’s readiness to help find solutions that would overcome the consequences of the unprovoked American-Israeli aggression against Iran, and ensure lasting peace and sustainable security in the region.
