Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Iranian counterpart Abbas Araqchi meet in New York and say only a diplomatic settlement can end tensions in the Middle East linked to a US-Israel war against Iran. Russia’s foreign ministry reports the two discuss regional and international issues, with a focus on the situation around Iran.
Both outlets describe the meeting as occurring on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. They present the same core message from Moscow and Tehran: diplomacy is the route to reduce or resolve the heightened conflict-related tensions. The coverage is largely aligned on what was agreed and the setting of the talks. Neither source provides additional details on specific proposals or timelines, nor does it describe any concrete steps beyond the shared call for diplomacy.
