"We have just signed a declaration on ways and means to counter, mitigate and offset the negative consequences of unilateral coercive measures. This is certainly an important step in increasing coordination of efforts by members of the global community to overcome the illegal sanctions, with which the United States and its allies replaced diplomacy," Lavrov said during a meeting with his Iranian counterpart in the Russian capital.The Russia-Iran declaration on ways and means of countering, mitigating and compensating for the negative consequences of the "unilateral coercive measures" was signed in Moscow, where Amirabdollahian arrived for talks with the five Caspian states, as well as for bilateral talks with Russia.As part of the Iranian delegation's visit to Moscow, the Iranian foreign minister's senior adviser for special political affairs, Ali Asghar Khaji, met with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. The two diplomats discussed the current situation in the Gaza Strip, problems with humanitarian aid to the enclave, and the settlement of the Syrian issue.In 2017, Russia, Turkiye and Iran launched a mediation group on the Syrian settlement in Astana. In January 2018, the Russian city of Sochi hosted a congress of the Syrian national dialogue, the first attempt since the start of the conflict to gather an inclusive pool of Syrian political forces. The main result of the congress was the decision to create a constitutional committee, which operates in Geneva and whose main task is to prepare a constitutional reform in Syria.Iran has been under US sanctions for several years over the development of its nuclear program. The sanctions restrict oil exports from Iran and block accounts of the Iranian authorities, as well as high-ranking officials and legal entities. On December 1, the US House of Representatives passed a bill dubbed No Funds For Iranian Terrorism Act to refreeze $6 billion in Iranian funds initially released by US President Joe Biden's administration as part of a prisoner swap deal reached earlier this year.
