Talks between Lavrov and various Iranian leaders focused on Iran’s nuclear program and regional security. Azerbaijani media see the visit as part of Russia’s broader strategic maneuvering, raising concerns over energy and security dynamics. Armenian analysts speculate on Armenia’s role in Russia-Iran ties but worry about being sidelined. With growing Russia-Iran cooperation amid Western sanctions, regional powers are closely watching how this partnership impacts trade, security, and diplomacy.
