During a trip to the Iranian capital of Tehran, the Russian president’s special envoy for Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev held talks with Iranian Foreign Minister’s Senior Advisor for Special Political Affairs Ali Asghar Khaji.
In the meeting, both sides reviewed the latest developments in the region, particularly in Gaza.
The two officials expressed deep concern over the merciless killing of the civilians in Gaza.
Both officials called for the necessity of an immediate truce and the dispatch of humanitarian aid to the affected people in Palestine.
Iran’s diplomat said that the brutal attacks of the Zionist regime against the oppressed people of Gaza and the killing of thousands of women and children are a result of the all-out support of the US.
Khaji described the crimes as collective punishment and genocide of Palestinians.
During the meeting, the officials also exchanged views on the latest developments in Syria, including the latest political and field situation, as well as the initiatives of both sides to help improve the economic and humanitarian situation, and the continuation of the Syrian political process.
Earlier today, Lavrentiev met with Ali Akbar Ahmadian, the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC).
