Amid the conflict between Israel and Iran, the dictator will receive Abbas Araghchi in Moscow.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will travel to Moscow on June 22 to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He announced this at a press conference in Istanbul, Associated Press writes.
Araghchi noted that Iran and Russia have a strategic partnership and “always consult with each other and coordinate positions.”
The Iranian foreign minister also said that while the “door to diplomacy” should always be open, “it is not now.” He said there was “no red line” left that the US would not cross.
He added that the United States bears full responsibility for the consequences of strikes on nuclear facilities.
Meanwhile, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi called an extraordinary meeting of the Board of Directors due to the situation in the Middle East.
Let us recall that the US launched a massive airstrike on key Iranian nuclear facilities. US President Donald Trump announced the destruction of Iran's entire nuclear potential.
However, the Iranian Foreign Ministry only reported damage to facilities.
Tehran also condemned the US actions as a strike “on peaceful nuclear facilities.” Iran also stressed that the Islamic Republic is determined to defend its territory.
The Trump administration is bracing for possible retaliation from Iran within the next 48 hours, according to two defense officials and a senior White House official. It is unclear whether the retaliation would be directed at foreign or domestic targets, or both.
