MOSCOW: Following a meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Kremlin announced on Friday that President Vladimir Putin is mediating the Iran crisis to swiftly reduce tensions. After Iran responded to protests that started late last month, Moscow denounced US threats of fresh military strikes.
In his conversation with Netanyahu, Putin stated that Russia will “continue its mediation efforts and to promote constructive dialogue with the participation of all interested states,” according to the Kremlin, adding that he had outlined his plans for enhancing Middle East stability. Pezeshkian then briefed Putin on what the Kremlin referred to as Tehran’s “sustained efforts” to stabilize the situation inside Iran during a separate call.
The Kremlin stated, “It was noted that Russia and Iran unanimously and consistently support de-escalating the conflicts surrounding Iran and in the region as a whole as soon as possible and resolving any emerging issues through exclusively political and diplomatic means. The Kremlin further stated that Putin and Pezeshkian had reaffirmed their commitment to carrying out cooperative economic projects and to their nations’ strategic relationship.
