Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held discussions regarding Iran's nuclear program with Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, as announced by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs via Telegram. The dialogue emphasized the potential risks associated with military action against Iran, especially in the context of recent tensions in the region. Lavrov cautioned against further U.S. military interventions, referring to the serious threat of a 'nuclear accident'.

In an interview with Saudi Arabian television channel Al-Arabiya, Lavrov reiterated that escalating tensions in the region was undesirable for all parties involved. He highlighted that no one in the vicinity desires an increase in hostilities, characterizing the situation as 'playing with fire'. His remarks urged for restraint and the pursuit of a peaceful resolution that would allow Iran to develop a peaceful nuclear program.

Lavrov pointed out the concrete risks associated with a potential nuclear accident, recalling last summer's American and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The discussion reflects ongoing geopolitical complexities surrounding Iran's nuclear aspirations and the international community's varying responses, notably from the U.S. and its allies, raising concerns over regional stability and security.
