Iranian President Updates Putin on US-Iran Talks in Islamabad

(MENAFN) On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian provided a summary of the recent US-Iran discussions in Islamabad to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a phone call, according to a statement from the Kremlin. The two leaders also addressed the latest developments in the Middle East.

During the conversation, Pezeshkian offered his assessment of the talks held on April 11, thanking Russia for its steadfast stance, especially in international forums, which has focused on reducing tensions. He also expressed gratitude for the humanitarian assistance that Russia has extended.

In response, Putin reaffirmed Russia’s commitment to facilitating diplomatic efforts aimed at securing a peaceful resolution in the region, noting that Moscow would continue its active engagement with all regional partners. The Russian president also reiterated his country’s willingness to mediate in the pursuit of a "just and lasting peace" in the Middle East.

The phone call took place following high-level talks between Iranian and US delegations in Islamabad, which, despite intense efforts, failed to yield an agreement. These discussions were part of broader attempts to halt the ongoing US-Israeli offensive on Iran, which has led to the deaths of over 3,300 people since February 28, despite a fragile ceasefire being brokered earlier this week.
