Putin and Pezhkyan spoke on the phone

Vladimir Putin and Masoud Pezhkian, presidents of Russia and Iran, spoke on the phone.

The IRNA news agency reported that Mr. Putin said in this conversation that his country is ready to participate in mediation efforts to end the war.

This call was made on the eve of the meeting of the two officials in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan.

According to this report, he told Mr. Pazhkian that Russia supports "diplomatic initiatives" to reduce tensions and continued that Tehran could "make sure that Moscow is also ready to play a role in this regard."

Media in Iran say that the presidents of Iran and Russia will meet this week on the sidelines of the summit of the leaders of the coastal countries of the Caspian Sea.

More than seven months after the joint ground attack between Israel and the US on Iran, it seems that the negotiations between the authorities of Iran and the US to reach an agreement have reached an impasse.
