Putin "highlighted the inevitable and extremely damaging consequences not only for Iran and its neighbours, but also for the entire international community, should the US and Israel resort to military action once again," said Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov.
Trump said Putin renewed his offer for Russia to serve as a third country that could deal with Iran’s 970 pounds of enriched uranium that the US president is demanding Tehran must surrender.
“He told me he’d like to be involved with the enrichment — if he can help us get it,” Trump claimed Putin told him. “I said, ‘I’d much rather have you be involved with ending the war with Ukraine.’ To me, that would be more important.”
The call follows Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s visit to Moscow, during which he said Washington was seeking talks after failing to achieve its objectives.
He said insecurity in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz stems from the aggressive actions by the United States and Israel, adding they should be held accountable for global security and economic consequences. He also warned of the impact of US actions on freedom of international navigation.
