Putin Pledges Russian Support to Help End Middle East Conflict in Meeting with Iran
Russian President Vladimir Putin met Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian ahead of a Commonwealth of Independent States summit in Turkmenistan, pledging that Russia will do everything possible to help end the ongoing Middle East conflict. Putin acknowledged Iran's efforts to resolve the war, which began with US-Israeli attacks in February, and highlighted the strengthening ties between Russia and Iran amid geopolitical tensions. The meeting occurred as US-Iran negotiations remain stalled, with Pezeshkian calling talks with Washington "meaningless." Both countries face accusations related to military support in regional conflicts.
