On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered a resolution for an ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran and suggested that Moscow be able to help arrange an agreement that allows Iran to maintain a peaceful nuclear program while dealing with Israel’s security concerns.
Putin acknowledged the sensitivity of the problem and said, “It is a delicate matter,” but he expressed the confidence that “a solution can be found”.

When asked how Russia would react if Israel should be murdered by Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Putin refused to comment and said, “I do not want to discuss such possibilities.”
Khamenei rejected us with the challenges of surrender to the face of more Israeli strikes and warned that any military involvement of Americans would cause them “irreparable damage”.
Putin said he shared Moscow’s proposals with Iran, Israel and the United States.

“We don’t store anything to anyone; we’re just talking about how we see a possible way out of the situation. Of course, the decision depends on the political leadership of all these countries, especially Iran and Israel,” he said, as Associated Press says.
For a long time, Russia has been going to the Middle East, and carefully balanced its friendly ties with Israel, while building robust economic and military relations with Iran – a strategy that places Moscow as a potential energy broker in the region, reported by Associated Press.
Putin’s recent remarks come on the heels of the mediation offer, which he extended during a telephone call with US President Donald Trump last weekend. Trump said on Wednesday that he told Putin to focus on finding the end game with his own conflict with Ukraine. “I said,” Do me a favor, mediate your own, “Trump said he said to Putin,” I said, “Vladimir, first media Russia.
200 Russian workers involved in the development of Bushehr reactors
According to AP, Putin said that more than 200 Russian workers are involved in building two other reactors in Bushehr and added that “we agreed with the Israeli leadership that their security would be ensured”.

The key production equipment of Iran is mainly in the southwest, while the oil operations are concentrated in the province of Khuzestan and the gas and the output of the condensate focused in Bushehr province, especially from the South Pars, according to Reuters.
The Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran was originally launched by German Siemens at the age of 70, but after the Islamic Revolution in 1979 and the Iran-Irák War was abandoned. In the 90s Iran signed an agreement with Russia to complete the project. The plant was built by the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy (Minatom) in cooperation with the atomic energy organization in Iran (Aeoi) for approximately $ 800 million.

Approximately 90% of oil exports in the country are directed on Kharg Island. In 2018, the United States intensified sanctions for Iran after the withdrawal of Trump from the nuclear agreement.
Putin stressed that Tehran did not request Moscow for military assistance and noted that the “strategic partnership” between countries signed in January does not assume such assistance.
“In addition to several air defense systems that Russia has supplied to Iran in the past, it also offered earlier to help create a comprehensive air defense, but Tehran did not want it,” he said.
“Our design was to create a system, not isolated deliveries, but a system,” Putin said. “We discussed it in the past, but the Iranian side showed little interest.”
Russian-Iranian relations
Russia and Iran share a long and complex history dating back to the Persian Empire and Grand Ghosts from Moscow. Although their relationship was recorded by a period of cooperation, it was also marked by conflict and moving alliances.
Historically, their interactions alternated between peace and war, with results that transformed regional borders, such as Russian acquisition of the North Caucasus, once part of the Persian Empire along with Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan.

In modern times their relationship remained similarly dynamic. The Soviet Union was the first to officially recognize the Iranian Republic of Iran after the 1979 Revolution, but paradoxically it was also one of the primary suppliers of weapons in Iraq during the Iran war, according to the Stockholm International Institute of Peace Research (SIPRI).
It is a delicate matter, but it was possible to find a solution.
Over time, the relationship has shifted from one of the Soviet dominance – where Iran was considered a strategic contribution to the Middle East – on a more balanced partnership, while Moscow and Tehran are increasingly working on shared interests and standing on the same diplomatic basis.
