Iran, Russia Vow to Broaden Bilateral Ties

During the phone talk today, Amir Abdollahian and Lavrov explored avenues for bolstering and reinvigorating bilateral relations.

The two sides also discussed regional developments, specially the recent developments in Afghanistan.

They called for peaceful negotiations among political factions in Afghanistan and formation of an inclusive government in the country.

Lavrov, meantime, pointed to the need for regional and international convergence by Tehran and Moscow, stressing that Russia is keen on resuming nuclear talks in Vienna, Austria.

Earlier this month, the Afghan government and military collapsed in the face of the Taliban’s swift advances on the ground, which many attribute to a hasty withdrawal of US-led foreign forces from the country, two decades after Washington invaded Afghanistan to eliminate the Taliban.

The Taliban’s takeover and the power vacuum that ensued have plunged Afghanistan into chaos, with thousands of people still at Kabul’s international airport seeking to leave the country.

Reports say 20 people have been killed in the mayhem at the airport, most in shootings and stampedes.

Shocking videos emerged of a group of Afghans hanging onto an American plane just before takeoff and several falling through the air.
