Russian President Vladimir Putin has told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that Moscow is prepared to assist in mediating peace efforts across the Middle East, according to the Kremlin.
The message was delivered during a phone call on Sunday, as regional tensions continue to rise alongside intensified diplomatic activity involving global powers.
Push for political solution
In an official readout, the Kremlin said Putin stressed Russia’s readiness to help facilitate a political and diplomatic settlement to ongoing conflicts in the region.
The statement framed Moscow’s role as a potential intermediary in efforts to reduce escalation and advance negotiations between involved parties.
Call for lasting regional peace
The Kremlin added that Putin expressed support for broader initiatives aimed at achieving what he described as a “just and lasting peace in the Middle East.”
The outreach comes as multiple diplomatic tracks remain active, with international actors seeking to contain spillover from ongoing regional confrontations.
Expanding diplomatic role
The call underscores Russia’s continued attempt to position itself as a key mediator in Middle East crises, particularly as competing global powers increase their involvement in parallel negotiation efforts.
