Tehran: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei has urged Russia to play a greater role in compelling Israel to fulfill its commitments and to put an end to the ongoing violence. This appeal comes as discussions are set to take place in Moscow, focusing on the developments in Syria and Gaza.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Baghaei highlighted the significance of President Masoud Pezeshkian's visit to Russia. The visit is expected to address key regional issues, including the situation in Syria and Gaza, which will be among the primary topics of discussion between the two nations' leaders.

The Iranian and Russian presidents are also anticipated to deliberate on the latest developments regarding Iran's nuclear issue. Additionally, they are expected to exchange views on the growing importance of BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which Baghaei emphasized as crucial in counteracting Western sanctions.
