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.

Russia in contact with both sides, warns of threats to citizens

Russia has maintained diplomatic channels with both Tehran and Tel Aviv, urging both parties to avoid actions that could endanger Russian citizens.

Peskov said Moscow is actively monitoring the situation and that some Russians have already left Iran via Azerbaijan.

“Contacts are being made with representatives of the conflicting countries through appropriate channels, during which the most urgent attention is drawn to the need to avoid actions that could pose a threat to the health and lives of citizens of Russia,” he noted.

Responding to Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks to Fox News, in which he claimed that Israeli war could lead to regime change in Iran, Peskov said, “We have seen this statement… and we are discussing the actions that led to such a dangerous escalation.”

Peskov further condemned the violence and affirmed that Russia “strongly condemns all manifestations of terrorism,” while observing that Iranian society has shown “significant consolidation” in the face of the Israeli bombardment.

Iranian nuclear dialogue disrupted by hostilities

The Kremlin also warned that the outbreak of war has seriously complicated efforts to revive the Iranian nuclear agreement.

“We know that military actions were actually started on the eve of the planned next round of indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States with the mediation of Oman,” Peskov explained.

Russia’s earlier offer to help remove excess nuclear material from Iran remains on the table, he added, signaling that Moscow still sees value in salvaging a diplomatic path.

When asked about the muted international reaction to "Israel’s" strikes, particularly the absence of sanctions or condemnation, Peskov said the Kremlin had taken note.

“We see that the international community is divided, into those who condemned what happened, and those who supported or justified it.”

He described this split as “a very good lesson for everyone” and reiterated that Russia is prepared to do everything possible to address the root causes of the conflict.
