TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has traveled to Russia for talks on joint efforts to deal with common threats and coordinate stances following the US military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Speaking to reporters upon his arrival in Moscow on Monday, Araqchi said Iran and Russia have always worked in cooperation, consulted with each other, and coordinate their stances on various issues.

It is necessary for Iran and Russia to adopt more careful, more serious and closer stances amid the current regional conditions, he said.

Denouncing the US military attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites as an act of aggression, Araqchi praised Russia for condemning the US strikes in the strongest term.

Under the current circumstances that the international system is being jeopardized, the consultations between Iran and Russia will be highly significant, he said. “We will try to coordinate our stances.”

The foreign minister said while his trip to Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the Israeli regime’s aggression against Iran and other regional threats had been planned in advance, the talks would now include a broader range of issues as the US has attacked Iran.

Iran and Russia share common concerns and have common enemies as well, Araqchi added, noting that the two countries always hold close consultations and work in cooperation to combat threats and rise to common challenges.
