The primary focus of the discussion, initiated from the Iranian side on Sunday, centered around the current situation in the Gaza Strip, where an Israeli onslaught has killed at least 12,000 Palestinians, including over 5,000 children, since October 7, IRNA's office in Moscow reported, citing the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The ministers highlighted the need for an immediate ceasefire and delivery of humanitarian aid to the civilians in Gaza.
Lavrov and Amirabdollahian also discussed plans for future encounters between Tehran and Moscow, along with other matters related to bilateral relations and international cooperation.
The two diplomats had previously spoken over the phone on November 4 and emphasized the importance of a ceasefire in Gaza.
Lavrov had paid a visit to Tehran on October 23, where he engaged in discussions with Iranian officials on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as the Caucasus region.
Comment: Meanwhile growing number of people who are outraged with Israel's crimes against humanity can see clearly which countries are too cowardly to call for a ceasefire.
What's also notable about these discussions is their frequency, subject matter (particularly that which is only hinted at), as well as how they demonstrate the strengthening of ties, and general agreement on matters, between the two nations. Whereas the West and its allies, both internally and externally, are showing signs of fracturing:
- Israel and America's Growing Zugzwang
- Leaked internal State Dept. memo accuses Israel of 'war crimes', Biden of spreading 'misinformation'
- Norway prepares bill to recognize Palestine as independent state
- Slovakia warns EU it will block 12th sanctions package if it includes nuclear fuel supplies
