Kremlin Monitors Iran Developments Amid Conflicting Statements
MOSCOW (Afghan Verified) — Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that Russia is closely following developments related to Iran amid various and contradictory statements on negotiations, expressing hope for a peaceful resolution.
Peskov's remarks, reported by TASS, came in response to questions about reports that U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the postponement of potential attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure for five days. "We are carefully monitoring the situation," Peskov said, noting Moscow's desire for tensions to ease.
Trump posted on Truth Social that the United States and Iran held "constructive talks" over the past two days aimed at ending conflicts in the Middle East. He stated that he had directed the Pentagon to delay attacks on Iranian energy targets for five days, adding that both sides are willing to reach an agreement and share "important common points."
An Iranian Foreign Ministry source, quoted by Tasnim news agency, denied any negotiations with Washington, stating there is currently no dialogue ongoing. The source attributed any possible U.S. postponement of attacks to Iran's escalation of military threats.
The conflicting accounts highlight disagreements over the existence of U.S.-Iran talks and the reasons behind the reported delay in military action.
