The new resolution on Iran is considered a "slap in the face" to the head of the White House

On May 18, Trump said that Washington is currently not ready to make any concessions during negotiations with Tehran on ending the war. According to him, Tehran wants to make a "deal more than ever" because it realizes that the United States can cause "even more pain" by resuming strikes.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on May 22 that the resumption of the armed conflict in the Persian Gulf would lead to negative consequences for the entire world and its economy. He noted that Russia welcomes all mediation efforts aimed at advancing the process of negotiations to resolve the situation around Iran and stands for establishing a direct and honest dialogue between the key countries involved in the conflict.
