Tehran:Major General Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, has underscored Iran's commitment to enhancing strategic cooperation with Russia during a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Tehran.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Rezaei emphasized the strategic significance of bilateral cooperation, which is intended to bolster intra-regional collaboration. This cooperation aims to consolidate stability, ensure regional security, and accelerate the development and progress of countries within the region.

Rezaei welcomed Russia's proposals to expand various forms of bilateral cooperation and highlighted the importance of joint economic projects, such as the completion of strategic corridors, in promoting regional stability.

Amid discussions about the new post-war conditions in the region, Rezaei noted that the continuity and sustainability of regional security and stability are reliant on multilateral cooperation within the region.

He condemned the illegal military actions by the United States and Israel against Iran, including attacks on nuclear facilities under IAEA oversight, asserting that the potential for Iran-Russia cooperation is extensive.
