Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing for a meeting of Iranian Foreign Minister Abbáš Araghchi for “important conversations” in Moscow today (June 23), according to the Russian agency Interfax, quoted by the Kremlin Aide Yuri Ushakov.
According to AFP, ARAGHCHI left ARAGHCHI on Sunday (June 22) at his meeting with his ally, about 48 hours after the US bombed key nuclear places in Iran.
Strategic visit? Russia for Iran “key supporter”, condemned US Israeli strikes
The AFP report further noted that while Russia was a “key supporter” of Iran, but from Israel it was not strong since the start of the 13th attacks on June and Iran and Iran responded with missiles and drones.
In official statements, the Kremlin condemned the attacks of the US and Israel at Iranian nuclear energy sites, but there was no offer of military assistance. She also tried to distance herself from a strategic partnership signed with Iran just a few months ago, the report noted.
So there is speculation that this meeting would be significant. “In this new dangerous situation … Our consultation with Russia can certainly be very important,” said Araghchi allegedly the Russian state media after landing in Moscow.

So what can we expect from Putin and Araghchi’s meeting?
According to a report by the Russian state agency IRNA, “consultations with President (Putin) and other higher Russia officials will be held on regional and international development of US military aggression and the Zionist regime (Israel) against Iran”.
In an earlier statement, Putin suggested that he could convey between Iran and Israel, but after he said after a backward overlap from US President Donald Trump, he later claimed that he only “suggests ideas”.
Putin, who spoke at the Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, said: “We are not trying to act as an intermediary, we simply suggest ideas. If it turns out to be attractive for both sides, we will be happy.”
The Russian Foreign Ministry 21st June condemned US strikes as “irresponsible” after warning before military intervention.
