The Russian media added: Lavrov also held talks with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi. The foreign ministers of Russia and Iran discussed the situation in Syria, the prospects of resolving the nuclear program, and a number of other issues.
The report states: Lavrov's trip to Iran took place amid the US President Donald Trump's administration's policy of maximum pressure on the Islamic Republic, as well as negotiations about the nuclear deal from which the US side withdrew during Trump's first term.
Russia and Iran agree to continue developing trade and economic cooperation
The Izvestia news agency, which was part of the media team accompanying the Russian Foreign Minister on this trip, published several news items and interviews, one of which was an interview with the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry about the illegality of the US unilateral sanctions against Iran.
This Russian media outlet, in one of its articles related to this trip, chose the following title: Russia and Iran agree to continue trade and economic cooperation.
Izvestia wrote: During the trip, the multifaceted relations between Russia and Iran were discussed in detail. In a part of the exchange of views between the parties on the current global and regional agenda, the situation in Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone, and also the Caspian Sea issue were discussed.
Consultations on the Middle East and the Caspian Sea
The Vedomosti news agency also chose the following title for one of its articles about the trip: Lavrov discussed the Middle East situation with the Iranian Foreign Minister.
The Russian media outlet wrote: The parties also discussed bilateral trade and economic cooperation, including the implementation of priority joint projects in the field of energy and transportation. The countries also agreed to strengthen cooperation within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS, and Eurasia.
Syria brought them together
The Russian newspaper Kommersant also published an article titled "Syria brought them together," stating: Lavrov visited Iran on February 25, 2025, and was welcomed at various levels.
The newspaper, in a report by its correspondent in Tehran, wrote: Although Lavrov tried to focus on the bilateral agenda during the press conference with his Iranian counterpart, Araghchi, it is impossible to ignore the fact that the trip to Tehran took place immediately after talks with the Turkish Foreign Minister in Ankara.
Kommersant added: As it is clear from the statements of the Russian Foreign Minister after a series of talks with Turkish and Iranian counterparts, Lavrov discussed the new realities in Syria, a country that was previously close to Iran and is now establishing closer relations with Turkey.
The Kommersant correspondent continued in the report: The brevity of Lavrov's trip did not affect the diplomatic agenda.
The report further states: According to Lavrov, the parties reaffirmed their mutual commitment to cooperate in ensuring long-term peace and stability in Syria, involving all ethnic and religious groups without exception.
The Russian newspaper wrote: Araghchi confirmed the words of his Russian counterpart: Our positions on Syria are very close. He emphasized that Iran supports the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Syria and advocates for peace in this republic.
The Russian media outlet, referring to Lavrov's statements in Ankara that geopolitical confrontation in the region has entered a new phase, wrote: Lavrov did not specify to whom he was referring, but his statements in Ankara a day earlier indicate that he was primarily referring to the United States.
