MOSCOW is in constant contact with the leadership of Iran, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday. “I can say that we are in constant contact with the Iranian leadership. And we are discussing the situation around this country,” Peskov told reporters.
Russia also continues to communicate with the leadership of the countries affected by the Iranian conflict, including Persian Gulf states, Peskov added. Russia expresses disappointment that the situation has deteriorated to direct aggression amid the information about progress in the Iranian-US negotiations, Dmitry Peskov said.
“As for the negotiations that were mediated by Oman between the United States and Iran, then, of course, one can express deep disappointment that, against the background of incoming information about significant progress in these negotiations, the situation has deteriorated to direct aggression anyway,” Peskov told reporters. Russia remains committed to a political and diplomatic settlement even after the US attack on Iran, Peskov said.
Membership in the BRICS does not provide for obligations to provide mutual assistance in the event of armed aggression, and there are no contacts on Iran within the framework of the association yet, Peskov said. “Membership in BRICS does not provide for obligations to provide mutual assistance during armed aggression — it is an organization of a different nature, and it is about cooperation in other areas. This is the first one. There are no contacts with the BRICS countries yet,” Peskov told reporters.
