Russia remains ready to act as a mediator in the conflict between Israel and Iran, and Moscow’s previous proposals to store Iranian uranium in Russia remain on the table, the Kremlin said on Monday.


Russia’s previous proposals to resolve the conflict are still on the table, but the outbreak of hostilities has complicated the situation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

However, the EU on Monday said Russia had “zero credibility” as a potential mediator between Iran and Israel, after US President Donald Trump suggested that the Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin could play a role.

“There has been a recent Russia-Iran partnership agreement, which signals deepening cooperation across multiple areas, including foreign policy and defense. In light of such, Russia cannot be an objective mediator,” EU spokesman Anouar El Anouni said.
