The Kremlin announced Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin informed his US counterpart Donald Trump about Iran's position on a potential agreement to end the ongoing war. Putin conveyed Tehran's stance to Trump during a phone call on Friday, though details of the conversation and Trump's response were not disclosed. Diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict, which began seven months ago following a US-Israeli war against Iran in February, have been stalled since the summer. Putin met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Turkmenistan this week, expressing Russia's readiness to mediate a settlement. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Putin, in coordination with Pezeshkian, shared Iran's views on a potential resolution with Trump. A prior understanding between the US and Iran in June to end the conflict collapsed in July due to renewed Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and subsequent US retaliatory strikes. Recent indirect talks between Washington and Tehran at the UN General Assembly also failed to yield any breakthroughs.
