Overview
Russia’s Vladimir Putin told Iran’s Abbas Araghchi that Iranians would navigate the “difficult period” of war and he hoped for peace soon. Araghchi is visiting Russia at a time when talks with the US remain on hold.
Key Details
Moscow, an ally of Iran, has so far resisted being drawn into the Middle East conflict as it continues with its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
But Putin on Monday offered support to Iran, saying that he was hoping for peace soon and that Iran would navigate this "difficult period" of war, according to Russia's state news agency.
"For our part, we will do everything that serves your interests, the interests of all the people of the region, so that peace can be achieved as soon as possible," the RIA news agency quoted Putin as saying during his meeting with Araghchi.
Araghchi landed in Russia on Monday following trips to mediators Pakistan and Oman to discuss the Middle East conflict, as peace efforts between Tehran and Washington remain on hold.
Iran is said to have offered the US a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, the Associated Press and Axios reported. Axios said Tehran wanted nuclear negotiations postponed to a later stage.
US President Donald Trump appeared to have acknowledged the proposal, with a White House spokesperson telling Bloomberg News on Saturday that the "US holds the cards" in negotiations.
Iran's Fars news agency said that efforts are still ongoing to create conditions for a second round of US-Iran talks, saying that Tehran had sent "written messages" to Washington via mediator Pakistan.
The White House said Trump's national security team discussed an Iranian proposal on Monday.
