In a surprising diplomatic move, Russian President
Vladimir Putin has officially offered to mediate peace talks between
Iran and Israel, as military tensions in the Middle East threaten to spiral
into a broader regional war.
🕊️ Putin’s Peace Proposal
In a televised address from Moscow, President Putin stated:
“Russia is ready to act as a neutral mediator to de-escalate
this dangerous confrontation and bring both parties to the negotiating table.
War will only bring destruction—dialogue is the only path forward.”
Putin called for an immediate ceasefire and proposed
hosting peace negotiations in either Sochi or a neutral venue under UN
supervision.
