Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a phone conversation with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi (pictured left) on Monday, during which the two diplomats discussed the conflict in the Middle East and the ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
According to the Russian Foreign Ministry's statement, Araghchi told his Russian counterpart about the "ceasefire violations" that Tehran claims the US committed, including the "illegal" naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and the seizure of an Iranian ship. He also confirmed Iran's willingness to do "everything in its power" to facilitate "unimpeded" passage of Russian ships through the critical Middle Eastern waterway.
On the other hand, the Russian foreign minister emphasized the need for the ceasefire to be maintaining and the importance of preventing "relapse into armed confrontation" by continuing diplomatic efforts.
