On September 7, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova issued a statement saying that the US deployment of a medium-range missile launch system in Norway is yet another serious destabilizing move by NATO countries. Zakharova said the MK-41 launch system deployed in Norway can launch multi-purpose missiles to strike land and sea targets. The system can launch Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles, and its deployment in the Nordic countries can cover large swathes of Russian territory, including Moscow. Zakharova stated that the US deployment of land-based medium-range missiles in Europe, which threaten Russia, "undermines the foundation for constructive dialogue between Russia and the US on strategic issues."On September 7, local time, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia does not rule out resuming trilateral talks with the United States and Ukraine, but the location and timing are still uncertain.

Linda S. Goldberg and Sneha Parthasarathy wrote in a blog post last week, "There is little evidence of a widespread trend of official diversification and dollar reduction."On September 7, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghae stated that a Qatari delegation visited Tehran on the 6th and held "good talks" with Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi, discussing issues such as easing regional tensions.
