Russia urges diplomatic resolution for Iran nuclear tensions

Russia is advocating for a diplomatic resolution to the Iranian nuclear issue, emphasizing the need for restraint from all parties involved. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated that the situation should be addressed through political means, especially in light of U.S. President Trump's threats of military action against Iran. Russia's representative to international organizations, Mikhail Ulyanov, echoed this sentiment, stating that diplomacy is the sole path to an agreement, while also seeking to position Moscow as a mediator in potential U.S.-Iran talks. Peskov highlighted the importance of maintaining Russia's alliance with Iran while simultaneously working to restore relations with the United States. This diplomatic push comes as tensions escalate, with threats of increased tariffs and military action being levied by the U.S. against Iran. Russia's historical role in previous negotiations indicates its intent to leverage its influence in navigating these complex discussions.
