Iran’s foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, has met with his Russian counterpart in Moscow. Iran’s top diplomat arrived in the Russian capital last night, on his first official visit to the country at the invitation of Sergey Lavrov. Ties between Tehran and Moscow, the issue of Afghanistan, Iran’s nuclear deal, and developments in the South Caucasus were on the agenda. Upon his arrival, Amir-Abdollahian expressed concern about the developments in the region that could threaten regional peace and stability. He also called on Russia to remain cautious about the presence of Israel and terrorists in the region. Iran’s foreign minister said Tehran is willing to significantly boost ties with Moscow.
Saudi drone downed
The Yemeni army says it has downed a spy drone belonging to the Saudi-led coalition in the country’s central province of Ma’rib. Army spokesman, Yahya Saree, said the aircraft was shot down by a surface-to-air missile in the Joobah district. Meanwhile, a Saudi artillery fire targeted a car in the Sa’ada province which led to the death of three civilians. It also left several others injured. Saudi Arabia launched a devastating war on Yemen in March 2015. The war has so far killed tens of thousands of civilians and displaced millions of others.
Taiwan-China tensions
Taiwan’s defense minister says the military tensions with China are at their worst in more than forty years. Chiu Kuo-Cheng has told a parliamentary committee that the situation is urgent and serious. He has also warned against the risk of a misfire in the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan says dozens of Chinese aircraft have entered its airspace over the past several days. Amid the tensions, US President Joe Biden said he had discussed the issue with his Chinese counterpart. Biden said Beijing and Washington agreed to abide by the Taiwan agreement, referring to the policy under which nearly all countries recognize China's sovereignty over Taiwan. However, Beijing condemns the expanding US ties with Taiwan and the weapons sales to the island as a violation of its sovereignty.
