Sept 25 (Reuters) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Iranian counterpart met on Thursday and Moscow said both agreed that only a diplomatic settlement could end tension in the Middle East sparked by the US-Israeli war against Iran.
“Current regional and international issues were discussed with emphasis on the situation around Iran,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement after Lavrov and Iran’s Abbas Araqchi met in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
