“There is also a draft resolution between the United States and Bahrain on the negotiating table, which we cannot support.

We call on the co-authors of this document to withdraw it and not make any hasty decisions regarding it, as we have not yet reached any conclusions,” the diplomat stated.

According to Alimov, the Russian-Chinese draft resolution remains on the negotiating table. It contains clear calls for the parties to end the war, refrain from the use of force, and resolve their differences at the negotiating table, he added.

He also noted that some passages address the importance of guaranteeing freedom of navigation.

A deadline for a decision on the draft resolution has not yet been set. The new attacks are certainly worrying. We hope that the momentum of the negotiation process will finally bear fruit, and we have always advocated for an unconditional cessation of violence and a political and diplomatic solution leading to a lasting agreement between Washington and Tehran, he concluded.
