The Kremlin has backed the upcoming nuclear talks between the United States and Iran, calling them a step toward easing tensions in the region. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, “We know that certain contacts, direct and indirect, are planned in Oman. This should be welcomed because it may reduce tensions around Iran.”
The discussions will take place in Oman on April 12, 2025. President Donald Trump announced plans for direct talks, but Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi clarified that Iran would only participate through indirect talks, with Omani mediators involved.
Russia has shown growing interest in regional diplomacy. The State Duma recently approved a 20-year strategic partnership treaty with Iran. This agreement aims to deepen military and political cooperation.
Many global observers are watching the situation closely, hoping the talks can improve stability in the Middle East.
