In Phone Call With Trump, Putin Conveys Iran's Position On Middle East Deal
The Kremlin said Tehran's stance was relayed in a phone call held between the two leaders on Friday. It did not say how Trump responded, nor elaborate on Iran's position.
MOSCOW, October 10 — According to the Kremlin, Russian President Vladimir Putin conveyed Iran's stance on a potential Middle East peace agreement to U.S. President Donald Trump during a phone call yesterday. However, the Kremlin did not provide further details on Trump's response or elaborate on Iran's position. The diplomatic efforts to resolve the ongoing Iran conflict, which began with U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran in February, have been stalled since the summer.
Russian President Putin met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during a summit in Turkmenistan earlier in the week, expressing interest in assisting in negotiating a peace deal. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Putin communicated Iran's views on resolving the conflict to Trump, as reported by Russia's state news agency RIA.
The United States and Iran had previously agreed on a memorandum of understanding in June outlining a framework for ending their conflict, but Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz led to a renewed U.S. military operation. Recent indirect talks between the two countries during the UN General Assembly have also failed to yield significant progress.
