Moscow, February 5 /Xinhua/ — The situation between Iran, Israel, and the United States is explosive. Russia is not forcing itself on them as an ally, but it is not indifferent to the situation in the Middle East. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this in an interview with RT.

"We're not currently trying to force ourselves on Iran, Israel, or the United States. In our contacts with them, we're simply discussing the situation. Iran is our close partner, our neighbor. We care how the situation develops. Especially since it's explosive not only for Iran itself, but for the entire Middle East," Lavrov said.

The US-Iran talks will be held in Oman on February 6. In 2025, five rounds of US-Iran nuclear talks ended without a result due to the launch of Israel's military operation against the Islamic Republic and US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025. –0–
