Putin Offers Mediation After US-Iran Talks Fail
Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian following the collapse of US-Iran negotiations, which lasted nearly 20 hours in Pakistan. The talks did not yield an agreement to resolve the ongoing conflict. The Kremlin stated that Putin is willing to mediate efforts for a political settlement in the Middle East. Pezeshkian attributed the breakdown to US 'double standards' and a 'totalitarian approach,' but expressed Iran's openness to a negotiated solution. US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance highlighted Iran's nuclear ambitions as a key issue in the negotiations.
