Minister Aragut told IRNA correspondents on Sunday night that he would meet with President Putin on Monday shortly after his arrival in the Russian capital.
“We and Russia have always had common concerns and common enemies, and we will always consult about dealing with those common challenges and threats. That’s what we do with the Russian President on Monday,” the minister said.
He said Iran and Russia will strive to bring their positions closer to each other “under these new and unstable circumstances.”
Foreign Minister Araguchi has been involved in a diplomatic campaign that rallys the world against Israel since June 13, when the Israeli regime attacked Iran. Before traveling to Moscow, he was in Istanbul, Turkey, attending an emergency meeting of the Islamic Cooperative Organization (OIC) held to discuss Israeli war of aggression against Iran.
The Israeli regime attacked Iran, including Tehran’s residential buildings, in an unattacked act of attack on June 13th, overnight. When the house was hit directly, the civilian died. The entire population centre was affected.
Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, appointed a new military commander that same day, saying life would be dark for Israel. Shortly afterwards, Iranian forces promised Israel to “open the gates of hell,” and began a wave of punitive strikes within Israel’s occupied territory, struck sensitive sites in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa, and visited missile and drone salvos, even within the cities.
The US launched a strike against Iran’s nuclear facility on Sunday, becoming the direct party in Israel’s invasion.
Ayatollah Khamenei had already warned the United States that the intervention would make America “irreparable harm.”
