Russian President Vladimir Putin told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that Russia is ready to do everything it can to help Iran resolve conflicts in the region. The meeting took place in the city of Turkmenbashi in Turkmenistan. The Kremlin said Putin noted that Iran has shown concrete efforts to end the conflict and has put forward new proposals for a peaceful settlement. Putin said relations between Russia and Iran continue to develop under the comprehensive strategic partnership treaty signed jointly earlier in 2025. Trade between the two countries grew by more than 21% last year and has maintained its growth trend in the first seven months of this year. Pezeshkian thanked Putin for Russia's support, saying ties between the two countries continue to expand in trade, economic and humanitarian areas. He criticized the United States for pursuing unilateral policies, saying Iran hopes to end the war as quickly as possible while ensuring that Iran's rights are respected. The Iranian leader also said Iran has exchanged initiatives with the United States and has revised and improved the U.S. proposals, and that the two sides will continue discussions through mediation once those initiatives are finalized.
