Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said during a visit to Iran on Tuesday that Moscow was sure that diplomatic measures were still on the table when it came to resolving issues around Iran’s nuclear program.

Russia and Iran have drawn closer in recent years, with Iran supporting Russia in its military campaign in Ukraine.

On Ukraine, Lavrov said that a United Nations Security Council vote to adopt a US-drafted resolution that took a neutral position on the Ukraine conflict showed the causes of the war were being better understood, Reuters reported.

The Security Council on Monday adopted a US-drafted resolution that takes a neutral position on the conflict as US President Donald Trump seeks to broker an end to the war.
