Investing.com – Russia announced on Monday that after the so-called “blatant aggression” against Tehran in Moscow, Russia is maintaining ongoing dialogue with Iranian leaders and is deeply disappointed with the deterioration of diplomatic efforts.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that although negotiations seem to have made progress, Washington still launched attacks on Iran, and Russia is analyzing the situation and drawing conclusions.

Peskov said, “Regarding the negotiations between the US and Iran mediated by Oman, we can of course express deep disappointment. Despite reports that these negotiations have made significant progress, the situation has still worsened into blatant aggression.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a “brutal” murder on Sunday. The Russian Foreign Ministry accused the US and Israel of pushing the Middle East into an uncontrollable spiral of escalation.

Peskov stated that Putin plans to hold an international phone call later Monday regarding Iran-related issues, but he did not disclose the recipient of the call.

Peskov said, “I can only say that we are maintaining ongoing contact with Iranian leaders and discussing the situation around the country. At the same time, we continue to engage in dialogue with leaders of countries affected by the conflict, including the Persian Gulf states.”
