Iran expects Russia to play an active role at a time of conflict between Tehran and Washington, foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday, as Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was in Moscow to consult with President Vladimir Putin.
"Iran, within the framework of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Russia, has specific expectations from this country; both at the multilateral level, especially in the U.N. Security Council, and at the regional level. Therefore, (Araqchi's) visit and contacts with Russian officials are considered very important," Baghaei said.
