US President Donald Trump said that Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to help resolve the Iranian nuclear enrichment issue, reports Todayinfo news agency.
According to Trump, during a phone call today, Putin told him he would "like to be involved" in settling the Iranian nuclear enrichment issue. However, Trump claimed he responded that he would rather his Russian counterpart end the war in Ukraine.
"He wants to get involved in the Iran issue, but I suggested he stop the war in Ukraine," Trump said.
The development marks a new phase in diplomatic contacts between the US and Russia. Iran's nuclear program remains a focus of the international community, with negotiations repeatedly stalling.
