Investing.com - The Kremlin announced on Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed several solutions to mediate the Iran conflict, with some options still available for consideration.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Putin had put forward various mediation plans early in the situation, even before military actions began. Many of these proposals are still under consideration.

Peskov said, “Russia is prepared to do its best to assist and would be happy to do so, but as you know, this requires understanding and agreement from multiple parties, so we need a little patience.”

This statement was issued a day after Putin spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump. According to the Kremlin, Putin shared proposals aimed at quickly ending the Iran war during the call. Peskov did not disclose the specific content of these proposals.

On Monday, Trump told reporters that Putin “wants to help with the Iran conflict.” However, Trump said he told the Russian leader, “You can help more by ending the Ukraine-Russia war.”

Russia, which has a strategic partnership treaty with Iran, condemned the U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran launched on February 28. As a major energy exporter, Russia benefits from the resulting rise in oil prices.

Trump’s envoy Steve Vekov said over the weekend that he had asked Russia not to provide intelligence to Iran. This request came after The Washington Post reported that Moscow was providing Tehran with target data to assist in attacking U.S. forces in the Middle East.

Peskov declined to comment on such reports and did not confirm whether Putin and Trump discussed this issue during their call. Regarding Vekov’s statement, Peskov said that Steve Vekov maintains ongoing contact with Russian counterparts, and this communication channel allows them to pass signals on sensitive issues.
