There was an exchange of views on the unprecedented escalation of the situation surrounding Iran resulting from the United States and Israel's aggression, bringing the entire region to the brink of a full-scale war with unpredictable consequences. Both sides emphasised the need for ceasing hostilities as soon as possible in order to prevent the situation from spiralling out of control and return it to a political and diplomatic framework.
The current course of events, among its many negative consequences, puts the security of many Arab states with which Russia maintains friendly relations in jeopardy. Taking all this into account, Vladimir Putin confirmed Russia's willingness to actively contribute to stabilising the situation in the region using all available means.
The leaders agreed to maintain contact.
