Vladimir Putin and Masoud Pezeshkian spoke by phone as tensions continue to escalate in the region.
The Kremlin said both leaders agreed the situation should be handled through political and diplomatic channels rather than military confrontation.
The call comes as Iran faces widespread unrest at home.
Separately, Iranian officials are reportedly planning to keep the country’s internet heavily restricted for the next three months, a move activists say is aimed at suppressing protests and limiting the flow of information.
The developments highlight deepening coordination between Moscow and Tehran as pressure mounts on both regimes.
