Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking in Moscow during a meeting with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty, stressed that the war being waged by the United States and Israel against Iran must come to an end.
Lavrov and Abdelatty called for an end to the ongoing conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran in the Middle East.
Lavrov underlined that the United States should stop its war against Iran.
Key highlights from Lavrov’s statements:
- Russia and Egypt reaffirm the need for an immediate ceasefire in Iran and a transition to a political solution process.
- The United States should not only demand that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but also end the war.
- Some actors are trying to sabotage emerging prospects for negotiations on Iran.
- The Palestinian issue must be resolved in line with international law and the two-state solution principle.
- This situation stems from Western aggression in 2011, and the resolution process should be conducted through the UN, taking into account the interests of all parties.
- We are pleased with the positive indicators of economic cooperation between Russia and Egypt.
