Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi Monday met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg, with the Russian president telling the Iranian diplomat that he hoped for peace soon.

Moscow, an ally of Iran, has so far resisted being drawn into the Middle East conflict as it continues with its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

But Putin on Monday offered support to Iran, with Putin having said he was hoping for peace soon and that Iran would navigate this "difficult period" of war, according to Russia's state news agency.

Putin told Araghchi that "For our part, we will do everything that serves your interests, the interests of all the people of the region, so that peace can be achieved as soon as possible," according to RIA news agency.

Aragchi landed in Russia on Monday following trips to mediators Pakistan and Oman to discuss the widening conflict, as peace efforts between Tehran and Washington remain on hold.
