Russia and UAE minister call for immediate ceasefire in Gulf

Russia’s foreign minister has held talks with his UAE counterpart over the Israeli-US war on Iran and ensuing regional fallout.

Sergei Lavrov spoke by phone on Tuesday with Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, according to Moscow.

The two discussed the situation in the Persian Gulf following recent US-Iran negotiations in Islamabad, which failed to produce a breakthrough.
