V. Putin: Esteemed Mr. Minister!
I am very glad to see you. Good afternoon, welcome.
You are visiting Russia at a difficult time – at a time of sharp deterioration of the situation in the region and around your country.
Our position on the current events is well known. It is clearly stated, articulated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on behalf of Russia, and you know about the position we have taken in the Security Council of the United Nations.
The absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran has no basis and no justification. We have long-standing good and reliable relations with Iran. We, for our part, are making efforts to assist the Iranian people.
As you know, I had a telephone conversation with the President of the United States [ Donald Trump ], and with the Prime Minister of Israel [ Benjamin Netanyahu ], with the President of the [United] Arab Emirates [Mohammed Al Nahyan], with the President of your country [ Masoud Pezeshkian ]. I know that you just met with the foreign ministers in Europe.
I am very glad that you are in Moscow today. This will give us the opportunity to discuss all these pressing issues and think together about how we could get out of today's situation.
Please convey my best wishes to both the President of Iran and the Supreme Leader [Ali Khamenei].
