In the wake of failed peace talks between Iran and the United States, Russia has reiterated its offer to take in Iran’s enriched uranium as part of a potential future peace deal.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the proposal on Monday, saying that President Vladimir Putin had previously suggested this idea during discussions with both the United States and regional stakeholders. However, despite the offer, it remains unacted upon.
Since the war between the US and Iran broke out in late February, it has caused significant loss of life and inflicted turmoil on the global economy. Hopes for a swift resolution were dashed over the weekend as diplomatic efforts between the two countries collapsed. The conflict, which has escalated tensions in the region, has led to dire consequences for global markets, particularly in the energy sector.
Russia, which holds the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world, has positioned itself as a key mediator in the ongoing crisis, offering to store Iran’s enriched uranium in a bid to facilitate peace negotiations. While the offer still stands, it has not yet received a formal response.
The Kremlin also voiced its concerns over US President Donald Trump’s threat to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global oil shipments. Peskov warned that such actions could further destabilise the international market, exacerbating the ongoing economic challenges.
