Russia's foreign ministry posted a clip of Lavrov's opening remarks during a meeting with Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi in which he said Moscow was adapting to what he called the West's aggressive policies.
Last month Moscow said Russia and Iran, which are both under Western sanctions and sit on some of the world's largest oil and gas reserves, had discussed swapping supplies for oil and gas as well as establishing a logistics hub.
