Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday received Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatullah Ali Khamenei’s senior aide here and discussed the aggravation of the situation in West Asia and issues of Iran’s nuclear programme.
The visit by Ali Larijani, senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, comes almost a month after Putin met Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
“On behalf of the Iranian leadership, Ali Larijani shared the assessments of the current escalation in the Middle East and the situation around the Iranian nuclear programme,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters without elaborating.
