Amir-Abdollahian disclosed that the US communicated with Iran through diplomatic channels to try and maintain the possibility of reaching an agreement with Tehran, however adding that "Of course, in some points of time, they (Americans) sought to create chaos and terror in Iran."

Iran has previously and repeatedly stated that it does not take a side in the war by emphasizing that it is not an exporter or shipper of weapons to either Russia or Ukraine.

Iran's Foreign Minister spokesperson earlier stated that "the relationship with the two countries (Russia and Ukraine) is friendly and our amicable relationship with Ukraine, which has been decreased due to the creation of the atmosphere of other parties, remains in place."
