Russia clarifies role in US-Iran talks

The Kremlin has clarified its position on the ongoing US-Iran conflict, stating that Russia is not acting as a mediator between the two nations. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that while Russia is not a formal mediator, it is prepared to offer assistance if requested by the parties involved. This statement refines Russia's earlier offers to help facilitate dialogue, positioning Moscow as a potential supporting player rather than a central broker. The clarification comes as diplomatic negotiations between the US and Iran remain fragile, with a ceasefire set to expire soon.
