Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov discussed Tehran's nuclear program crisis with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, on Tuesday.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Lavrov met with Araghchi on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization foreign ministers' meeting in Tianjin, China.
She noted that Lavrov and Araghchi discussed regional and international issues during the meeting.
She stated that the two ministers consulted on the crisis related to Iran's nuclear program, stressing the need to resolve it through political and diplomatic means and within the parameters of international law.
The statement noted that the Russian and Iranian ministers agreed to continue talks at various levels.
It is noteworthy that Lavrov and Araghchi met last week on the sidelines of the 17th BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
On June 13, Israel launched a 12-day aggression against Iran, targeting military and nuclear sites, civilian facilities, military leaders, and nuclear scientists.
In support of Israel, Washington attacked Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities on June 22 with B-2 stealth bombers.
Estimates of the repercussions of this attack varied between completely destroying the nuclear program, delaying it for years, or perhaps only for months.
Israel has repeatedly threatened that it will not allow any attempt to revive Iran's nuclear program, indicating its readiness to launch a new aggression.
