On March 10, 2026, a telephone conversation was held between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Sergey Lavrov, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud.
The heads of the foreign policy departments of the two countries discussed the unprecedented escalation of tensions in the Middle East caused by the unprovoked US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
Both sides emphasized the importance of an immediate cessation of all hostilities and the rejection of forceful methods of resolving the conflict, which leads to civilian casualties and causes serious damage to civilian infrastructure — both in Iran and in the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf. It was particularly noted that these countries are not involved in the unlawful actions of the US and Israel and should not be subjected to strikes.
The Ministers expressed a common view on the need to consolidate the efforts of the international community in order to rapidly reduce military-political tensions and prevent further degradation of the situation in the Middle East.
