- Sergey Lavrov made his first visit to Tehran since the outbreak of the US-Israeli war on Iran, meeting Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi on 19 Oct 2026 to discuss the conflict and efforts to end it
Why it matters: Russia's diplomatic outreach to Iran gives Moscow a direct channel into efforts to end the US-Israeli war. Lavrov's first Tehran visit since the conflict began elevates Russia-Iran coordination to a central axis of de-escalation discussions between the warring parties.
