Pezeshkian and Putin Agree to Push for Regional Peace After US-Iran Talks Collapse

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin have held a phone call hours after Pakistan-mediated negotiations between Iran and the United States ended without an agreement to permanently end the US-Israeli aggression on Iran.

The Iranian Presidency Office said in a statement that Pezeshkian and Putin had discussed their viewpoints about how to boost security and stability in the West Asia region.

The statement said the two also reviewed the latest developments regarding a two-week ceasefire announced last week between Iran and the US.

The Kremlin also issued its readout of the phone call, saying Putin and Pezeshkian discussed efforts to bring about peace in the region.

It said Putin had declared his readiness to help facilitate such efforts.

“Vladimir Putin emphasized his readiness to further facilitate the search for a political and diplomatic settlement to the conflict, and to mediate efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in the Middle East,” the statement said.

The Kremlin said that both Pezeshkian and Putin reaffirmed their commitment to developing and strengthening bilateral relations.

The phone call came hours after Iran and the US said they had ended their intensive talks in Islamabad without reaching any agreement.

The Iranian delegation, led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said that US excessive demands had prevented the talks from achieving the desired results.

The US delegation, led by Vice President JD Vance, said Iran had not accepted US demands for totally abandoning its nuclear program, which Tehran insists is peaceful and has no military dimension.

The negotiations came days after Pakistan announced that Iran and the US had responded positively to its call for a stop in the fighting that began in late February after the US-Israeli aggression on Iran.

Iran accepted to enter talks with the US after Washington indicated it had agreed to negotiate based on Iran’s general conditions to end the war.
