The Iranian Foreign Minister says his Russian counterpart provided a detailed report on Moscow’s negotiations with the US and regional countries during his visit to Tehran but carried no message for Iran from Washington.

Iran has engaged in "close consultations" with Moscow on reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, he said. The US unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA signed in 2015 by Iran and world powers, claiming it failed to curtail Iran's missile program and regional influence.

President Pezeshkian says Tehran and Moscow pursue the strengthening of their regional and international cooperation.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrives in Tehran for high-stakes talks with Iranian officials as Trump ramps up his "maximum pressure" campaign, imposing fresh sanctions on Iran’s oil industry.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has highlighted the extensive and continuous consultations between Iran and Russia, stating that cooperation extends beyond bilateral relations to include regional and international affairs.

Iran's top diplomat has said that Tehran will resist pressure from the US over nuclear talks. US President Donald Trump has reimposed a tough policy on Iran upon his return to the White House.

A report by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog says Iran has accelerated its production of near weapons-grade uranium as tensions between Tehran and Washington rise.

Moscow ruled out an immediate cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, appearing to contradict Trump's comment on ending conflict "within weeks."
