Russian President Vladimir Putin said this week that Israel and Iran were addressed to try to end the weekly war. According to the Associated Press Putin, Putin also said that Russia has proposed “some ideas” for possible settlement between two countries that are currently being discussed.
Putin said on Friday that Moscow was asked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah to ensure the safety of Russian staff who work on the construction of two other reactors at the Bushehr Iranian port.
The Russian President said he also raised this problem with the US President Donald Trump.
“The Prime Minister Nonanyahu agreed and President Trump promised to support our legitimate requirements,” Putin said, answering questions about various questions about the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
Putin, Iranian-Israeli mediator?
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was not trying to be an intermediary between Iran and Israel, and proposed only the ideas of how countries could solve a growing crisis.
“We are not trying to act as an intermediary, we simply suggest ideas,” Putin quoted AFP as at the Economic Forum in St. Petersburg. “If it turns out that they are attractive to both sides, we will only be happy,” he said.
Russia was unable to support the ally Iran?
Putin strongly rejected the accusation that Russia was unable to support its ally Tehran.
Reportedly he said that the Kremlin had maintained good ties with Iran and Israel. He noted that Israel was home to nearly 2 million people from Russia and other former Soviet nations, a “factor we have always taken into account”.
Putin also said that Russia has always fulfilled its obligations to Iran and added that Moscow firmly supported Tehran’s right to peaceful use of nuclear energy.
While Moscow condemned Israeli strikes, Russia did not offer military assistance to its Iran and submitted its obligations on the basis of an extensive agreement on a strategic partnership signed a few months ago.
Putin expressed concern about the Spiral conflict between Iran and Israel. He said that “we are strongly worried about what is happening around Iranian nuclear facilities and possible consequences”.
Reluctance
Putin allegedly spoke by phone with Benjamin Netanyahu and Iranian President Masouda Pezshkian after Israel launched his strike last Friday.
But at the beginning of this week, the Kremlin said he had noticed “unwillingness, at least by Israel, resort to any mediation services or embark on a peaceful path to settle.”
“Let’s convey Russia first …”
US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron publicly pushed back on the idea of Putin’s mediation role.
“Actually, he offered to help you convey to you, I said,” Do me kindness, mediate your own. First we mediate Russia, well? “Trump told reporters in the White House last week with reference to the Russian conflict with Ukraine.
“I said,” Vladimir, first let’s mediate Russia, you can worry about it later, “Trump quoted as he said.
