Russia says ready to assist in finding diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear issue
Russia is prepared to assist in finding a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing concerns surrounding Iran’s nuclear program, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said during a press briefing on Wednesday.
"The Russian Federation stays ready to make every contribution, within its capacity to do so, to resolving the situation around the Iranian nuclear program through political and diplomatic means. We will be ready to do everything we can," Peskov said, commenting on an idea that Russia and China could act as guarantors for a new nuclear agreement between Iran and the United States, News.Az reports, citing TASS.
However, everything will depend on "continued negotiations between Washington and Tehran," the Russian presidential spokesman stressed, "for we expect a second round [of US-Iran talks] to take place as scheduled."
On April 12, Oman hosted indirect talks between Iranian and US negotiators, in the presence of the Omani foreign minister, on resolving the situation around Iran’s nuclear program. The Iranian delegation was led by Foreign Minister Araghchi, while special envoy Steve Witkoff represented the United States. The Islamic republic’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the meeting had been held in a constructive atmosphere. Talks will resume in Oman on April 19.
