US EditionDiplomatic Détente: Russia's Role in Mediating Iran's Nuclear Disputes
RIO DE JANEIRO, JUL 7 – Russia reiterated its offer to mediate Iran's nuclear disputes and condemned recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities under International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards.
- On July 6, 2025, during the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s Foreign Minister, held discussions with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi concerning recent military attacks on Iran.
