Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's Assistant Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, described the trilateral meeting between Iran, China, and Russia in Moscow on Tuesday as productive and beneficial.
In a post on the X platform, Gharibabadi shared that the expert delegations discussed future developments concerning the nuclear issue, sanctions relief, and UN Security Council Resolution 2231, reaffirming their commitment to continued collaboration among the three nations.
He emphasized that Iran will maintain consultations with all relevant parties, guided by its steadfast dedication to diplomacy.
The meeting, held in Moscow, focused on bilateral matters and international and regional developments, including the nuclear program.
On a related note, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said on Tuesday that Russia is ready to assist in the settlement of the nuclear program between Iran and the United States.
Earlier in the day, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iranian and US representatives are set to meet in Oman on April 12 for high-level indirect talks.
"Russia always provides all possible assistance when it comes to resolving any crisis or conflict. This is also relevant to the situation around Iran," Rudenko stated, warning that any US attack on Iran could lead to deplorable consequences for the Middle East.
"Negotiations are currently taking place in Oman, mediated by Oman, between the United States and Iran, and we hope that our efforts will not be required. But if necessary, of course, we will provide all possible assistance," the Russian diplomat said.
In the event of a US attack on Iran, Russia will not be obligated to provide military aid but will take all necessary steps to help settle the situation, he pointed out.
