The Kremlin announced that the mediation proposal presented by Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the conflict in Iran is still valid. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Tuesday that Moscow is ready to offer any contribution to reduce the increasing tensions in the Middle East.
"WE ARE READY TO CONTRIBUTE"
Peskov noted that Russia is closely monitoring developments in the region, stating, "Russia is ready to contribute to all diplomatic efforts necessary to reduce tensions in the Middle East." The Kremlin spokesman mentioned that Putin's initiatives in this regard were also discussed in previous meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump.
CONVEYED THE MEDIATION PROPOSAL
Kremlin officials announced that Putin recently held separate phone conversations with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and conveyed Moscow's offer to mediate in the region. Russia emphasized that the aim of this initiative is to prevent further escalation of the conflict and to strengthen diplomatic solutions.
Peskov left questions regarding the details of the meeting between Putin and Trump unanswered. The Kremlin spokesman stated that they would not share details about the content of the proposals raised during the contacts between the two leaders.
IRAN IS NOT BACKING DOWN
On the other hand, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also stated that some countries have made mediation attempts, expressing their support for lasting peace in the region. However, the Iranian administration emphasized that they will not back down from defending the country's sovereignty.
The Russian administration argues that the crisis in Iran should be resolved through diplomatic means rather than military methods. While Moscow continues its contacts with the parties in the region, it states that the mediation offer is still on the table.
