May 8 (Reuters) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told his United Arab Emirates counterpart on Friday that U.S.-Iran talks needed to be supported to prevent a resumption of hostilities in the Middle East.
“The Russian side emphasised the need to focus on supporting the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the USA,” a foreign ministry statement said of Lavrov’s telephone conversation with Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The statement said Russia did not want “to jeopardise the prospects for stabilisation by resuming hostilities.”
