Breaking News: Iran’s Foreign Minister Heads to Moscow Amid Rising Tensions with Israel and U.S. | ABP NEWS

Amid escalating conflict between Iran and Israel — now further intensified by direct U.S. involvement — Iran’s Foreign Minister is set to visit Moscow today for a crucial meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This visit holds strategic importance as Russia has previously signaled support for Iran, raising global concerns about further internationalizing the Middle East conflict. Recent Israeli and U.S. strikes have targeted critical Iranian nuclear facilities, including the Natanz atomic center, known for housing advanced centrifuges enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels. Another major target, the Fordow nuclear site, remained a secret facility until 2009. In 2018, Israel revealed stolen Iranian documents that exposed the site's uranium enrichment activities. Reports suggest over 2,700 centrifuges were operating there. The Pahang nuclear site, used for producing uranium hexafluoride, a key fuel in the nuclear cycle, was also reportedly damaged. The U.S. and Israel maintain that Iran’s nuclear program poses a serious threat to global security, justifying their pre-emptive strikes. As tensions rise, Iran’s move to strengthen diplomatic ties with Russia is seen as a strategic counter to U.S.-Israel aggression. This Moscow visit could further tilt the balance and potentially drag more nations into the escalating crisis.
