Russia wants ‘fair’ US-Iran nuclear deal

Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday told his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian that Moscow wants a "fair" nuclear deal between the United States and Iran and was ready to help advance talks, the Kremlin said.

"The Russian side confirmed its readiness to contribute to the promotion of this dialogue with the goal of reaching a fair agreement based on the principles of international law," the Kremlin said in a readout of a call between the leaders.

The latest round of talks between Tehran and Washington, initially set for May 3, was postponed, with Oman citing "logistical reasons" for the delay.

The two countries have held three rounds since April 12, their highest-level contact since US withdrew from deal with Iran in 2018.
