Putin declared Russia's readiness to ensure Iran's interests in the peaceful atom

Russia is ready to ensure Iran's interests in the field of peaceful nuclear energy by ensuring their interests in this area. This was announced on June 18 by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting with the heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

"The level of trust between our countries is quite high. We have very good relations with Iran. We could continue this work and ensure their interests in this area," he said.

Putin stressed that these details had been discussed with the Israeli and American sides, and the Russian Federation had also given certain signals to Iran. In his opinion, it is possible to ensure Iran's interests in the field of peaceful nuclear energy and at the same time withdraw Israel's obligations regarding its security.
