On Tuesday, the Kremlin announced its support for both direct and indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States regarding Tehran’s nuclear program, viewing this as an opportunity to reduce tensions between the two nations.
During a press briefing, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized Russia’s commitment to a diplomatic and political resolution.
Peskov stated, “We are aware that certain direct and indirect communications are scheduled to occur in Oman. Naturally, this is a positive development, as it could contribute to easing tensions surrounding Iran.”
Iranian state media reported that discussions between the U.S. and Iran are set to take place in Oman on April 12, although the specifics of the talks remain uncertain.
U.S. President Donald Trump indicated on Monday that the two nations were ready to engage in direct discussions; however, Iran’s foreign minister clarified that the meetings in Oman would be indirect and conducted through intermediaries.
In recent months, Trump has expressed a desire to reach an agreement with Iran concerning its long-standing nuclear program, while also threatening military action if a deal is not achieved.
Since Moscow deployed tens of thousands of troops to Ukraine in February 2022, Russia and Iran have strengthened their diplomatic and military relations. Moscow has utilized Iranian-made drones extensively against Ukrainian military and infrastructure targets. Additionally, Russia has previously offered to assist in facilitating talks between Tehran and Washington.
