Iran maintains communication with Russia and China on numerous issues
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Ismail Baghai, said in response to a journalist's question about Russia and China potentially serving as guarantors for a possible agreement between Iran and the United States that Tehran is currently engaged in ongoing dialogue with Moscow and Beijing on multiple matters.
Baghai stated during a briefing: "We maintain continuous contact with Russia and China, and we have several agreements, including a strategic partnership. Both China and Russia are permanent members of the UN Security Council and play significant roles in international and regional affairs."
At the same time, Baghai emphasized that Tehran should rely on itself to safeguard its own interests. He also noted that Iran intends to strengthen its relations with Russia and China.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched multiple strikes against targets inside Iran, including attacks on Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. In response, Iran carried out retaliatory missile strikes on Israeli territory and U.S. military targets in the Middle East.
On April 8, Washington and Tehran announced a two-week ceasefire, but subsequent negotiations held in Islamabad ended without results. There has been no news of renewed hostilities so far, although the United States has begun blockading Iranian ports. Mediators are attempting to facilitate a new round of talks.
