Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a phone call with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, discussed the latest geopolitical developments, particularly after "Israel" launched its war against Iran.  

According to the Kremlin, both leaders condemned the Israeli occupation's aggression on Iran, stressing that the continuation of such assaults poses a significant threat to the region's security and stability.

The Turkish presidency noted that Erdogan described the situation as a "spiral of violence" initiated by Israeli attacks on Iranian territory, warning that it now represents a direct threat to regional peace. He called for an end to the war and the establishment of a foundation for renewed diplomatic engagement.

Separately, Erdogan spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, affirming Turkey's willingness to assume a facilitating role in halting the war and resuming nuclear negotiations at the earliest opportunity.

Similarly, the Kremlin announced Monday that Russia is ready to mediate between Iran and "Israel" as the two sides edge closer to a full-scale war, initiated by "Israel". Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Moscow remains in contact with both parties and warned of the growing threat to regional and global stability.

“Russia remains ready to provide mediation services if necessary,” Peskov told reporters, reiterating a longstanding offer that President Vladimir Putin previously conveyed to US President Donald Trump.

“These proposals remain on the table and can be implemented.”

After "Israel" carried out an aggression on Iranian territory, followed by Iranian retaliatory strikes, Russia has positioned itself as a potential broker, emphasizing its role as a stabilizing power in the Middle East. The Kremlin's renewed offer comes as fears mount over a broader regional conflagration.

Peskov added that any effort to de-escalate the crisis must involve restraint from both sides and a clear focus on preventing civilian harm and regional destabilization.
