The growing tension between Israel and Iran is being seen as a major crisis for the whole world. Many other countries are now intensifying diplomatic efforts to end this tension. Meanwhile, a big statement has come from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
On Wednesday, he said that he is ready to mediate in resolving the growing tension between Israel and Iran. He suggests that Russia can find a solution that allows Iran to run a peaceful nuclear program and also addresses Israel's security concerns.
Speaking to editors of international news agencies during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Putin said that this is a sensitive issue, but I think its solution is possible. Putin also said that he has shared his plan with America, Iran and Israel. Let us tell you that this statement of Putin came after a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump last week, in which he offered mediation on this issue.
However, after Putin's statement on ending the tension between Israel and Iran, US President Donald Trump's stance has changed. Where Trump told Putin to first resolve the war between Russia and Ukraine. Giving information about this, Trump said that I have told Putin to first resolve his fight, the rest can be taken care of later. Keep in mind that earlier Trump had described Putin's initiative as worth considering with an open mind, but now he has postponed it.
Earlier, during the conversation with Trump, Putin also reminded that Russia has built the first nuclear plant (Bushehr) in Iran and there is deep trust between the two countries. Also, Russia has good relations with Israel. In such a situation, this balanced stance of Russia in the Middle East can make it a potential power broker, who is in a position to find a diplomatic solution to the Israel-Iran dispute.
It is worth noting that during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Putin met former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, officials from China, South Africa and Bahrain and the OPEC chief. On Friday, he will participate in a major panel discussion, in which his stand on new policies may become clear.
