The Russian foreign ministry has stated that Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian noted during a telephone call that “provocative acts” could boost tensions in the Middle East, Al Jazeera reports.
The ministry said: “It was noted that a further escalation of tensions in the region and new, dangerous provocative actions could lead to a boost in tensions in the Middle East.”
“Preventing such scenarios and removing their primary reasons must be a priority matter for the UN Security Council.”
