Russia has advocated for a cessation of military actions and a political-diplomatic solution from the beginning of the Iran conflict and is prepared to take all possible measures to help resolve the issue. Tamim stated that the tense relations between the United States and Iran have had a negative impact on the entire region, including the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz and the energy sector.
