Israeli attacks on Lebanon “must stop completely,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has told his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov during a phone call.

The Iranian foreign ministry said on Wednesday that the two ministers discussed the Islamabad memorandum of understanding, as well as regional and bilateral issues.

Araghchi briefed Lavrov on the details of the memorandum and stressed the responsibility of the US to ensure proper implementation of its provisions, as well as the need for a complete halt to Israeli attacks on Lebanon.

Lavrov welcomed the finalisation of the memorandum’s text and expressed Russia’s full support for implementing its provisions, according to the ministry.

The two ministers also emphasised the need for the international community and the UN Security Council to support the understanding, as well as continued diplomatic cooperation among regional countries, to consolidate peace and stability.
