If Russia and China back Iran on the compromise option [the joint venture], then the issue will not be pushed on to the UN Security Council without consent from Moscow and Beijing.

In view of the time shortage, the status of the negotiations could also be raised.

Unfortunately, the escalation of the conflict will continue.

I think these will be very difficult discussion and I do not think we will see any major decisions made today.

Largely a bluff. A fairy tale.

In all likelihood, energy security will be among the main issues to be discussed.

A similar scenario would be an optimal way out of the Iranian deadlock, especially if the United States provides Tehran with guarantees that it would not attack Iran.
