This diplomatic visit comes at a crucial time as the U.S. and Iran are scheduled to resume discussions over Iran's nuclear program, which remains a point of contention in international relations. The talks are seen as an opportunity to further stabilize the situation following tensions in the region.

Iran has maintained a close relationship with Russia, especially in the context of its nuclear and military interests, and the upcoming talks are expected to strengthen coordination between the two nations on these and other matters.
