Meanwhile, the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Araqchi, met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow while Tehran asked for the support of one of his last major allies before his next movements.
The Iran’s armed forces warned “serious and unpredictable consequences” for the United States in response to air strikes on three nuclear sites on Monday.
