Why it matters:
Discussions between Iran, Russia, and China are occurring behind closed doors, while the United States anticipates talks with Iran on Saturday in Oman. China and Russia act as independent nations in the region and are economic and political rivals of the United States.
The big picture:
Yesterday, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Baqaei, along with Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova and Russian Presidential Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, announced a trilateral meeting between Iran, China, and Russia in Moscow. Additionally, Iran, Russia, and China held a meeting in Beijing on March 14, 2024, which included Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Majaoshu, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. The focus was on Iran's nuclear program and other relevant issues.
Key Points:
- Russia is hosting the summit.
- The discussions will focus on Iran's nuclear program and the development of a roadmap for cooperation among the three countries.
