Russia's Permanent Representative Ulyanov announced Russia's readiness to mediate between Iran and the United States on the nuclear deal.

Russia agrees to mediate between Iran and the United States to resolve the issue surrounding the nuclear deal at the request of both sides, said Mikhail Ulyanov, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to international organizations in Vienna.

By mutual agreement: Iran and the United States can return to dialogue on the nuclear deal

There is evidence that Tehran's enriched uranium was evacuated before the strikes began.

"Of course, we are ready to help resolve the problems surrounding the Iranian nuclear program through political and diplomatic means. We have been following this line for many years now, and it has repeatedly brought positive results. We are ready to play a mediating role now, if both contracting parties request it," he said.

Ulyanov added that the topic of Iran's nuclear program is regularly discussed by phone by the leaders of Russia and the United States and, most likely, this practice will continue. The last time Russian President Vladimir Putin and American leader Donald Trump discussed the situation around Iran was during a phone call on July 3. After that, Axios reported that Putin supported a new nuclear deal without Iran's right to enrich uranium. The Russian Foreign Ministry immediately called this publication fake and an example of a "dirty politicized campaign."
