Putin Agrees to Help Broker Talks Between Trump and Iran: Reports
Updated Mar 04, 2025 at 11:27 AM EST
Russia has agreed to help President Donald Trump work with Iran over its nuclear program, Bloomberg reports.
Citing people familiar with the situation, Bloomberg stated Trump expressed an interest to work with Iran on both nuclear matters and Tehran's support for anti-U.S. proxies in the Middle East during a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin last month.
Trump administration officials also discussed communicating with Iran in a meeting with their Russian counterparts at a summit in Saudi Arabia last month, the report said.
There was no response to the report from the White House. Newsweek has contacted the State Department for comment.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Bloomberg that the U.S. and Iran should negotiate and that Moscow "is ready to do everything in its power to achieve this."
Iranian officials told The Telegraph that Tehran was considering the request from Putin.
