Lavrov Hopes U.S. Will Abandon Military Option Against Iran

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov voiced his hope that the United States will abandon the military option in its approach to Iran. Lavrov made these statements to reporters after a joint session of the Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, the Council of Ministers of Defense, and the Committee of Secretaries of Security Councils of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

Responding to statements attributed to U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting that military options are no longer on the table in Washington, Lavrov stated, “I hope this is truly the case.”

He added that Russia has consistently emphasized, in its dialogues with regional countries, the necessity of pursuing a political resolution and reaching agreements on how to manage affairs in the volatile region. This includes fostering cooperation between Iran and the Arab states in the region.
