Moscow said Wednesday that it is prepared to do everything within its power to help diplomatically resolve the standoff between the United States and Iran over Tehrans nuclear program.Russia, which holds the worlds largest confirmed stockpile of nuclear weapons, has strengthened its military ties with Iran since launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.The Russian Federation remains ready to do everything within our capabilities to contribute to the settlement of the situation by political and diplomatic means, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.His comments came after an Iranian lawmaker suggested in an interview with the state-run news agency RIA Novosti that Russia and China could serve as joint guarantors of any future agreement between Tehran and Washington.Russia has issued multiple appeals for de-escalation in recent weeks after United States President Donald Trump appeared to threaten Iran with military action if it refused to negotiate limits on its nuclear program.Peskov did not say whether Moscow would take on a guarantor role but said the Kremlin is counting on a second round of talks between Iran and the United States.Iranian and United States officials held indirect talks in Oman last week, marking their highest-level contact since Trump withdrew from a landmark nuclear deal in 2018.
