Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh pointed out that the basis of the current crisis between Russia and Ukraine is the NATO efforts to expand.

Commenting on Sweden and Finland's plans to join NATO, Khatibzadeh told Sputnik that the basis of the current crisis between Russia and Ukraine is NATO's expansion and ignoring the security and political considerations of other countries, especially Russia, and the agreements reached decades ago.

Khatibzadeh stressed that the alliance should know that the road to confrontation has an unhappy ending.

The Iranian spokesperson described the relations between Tehran and Moscow as "strategic", stressing that the Islamic Republic will not allow any issue to disrupt it.

"Iran ... will launch a new round of its efforts [to resolve the conflict]," Khatibzadeh confirmed, adding that both sides take Iran's mediation seriously.
