TEHRAN (Basirat): Russia's special presidential envoy for Syria Alexander Lavrentiev will pay a visit to Tehran on Wednesday to brief the Iranian leadership on results of the recent Trump-Putin summit in Finland, a report said.

TEHRAN (Basirat): An American analyst said a visit to Moscow by Ayatollah Khamenei’s senior adviser is similar to a visit to Mikhail Gorbachev at the behest of Imam Khomeini in 1989, noting that the trip indicates that Iran has more “concert goals” in mind regarding its bilateral ties with Russia.
