President Donald Trump has ramped up sanctions on Tehran, but also shown interest in a deal on its nuclear program
Washington and Moscow decided to hold separate talks centered on Iran during last month’s high-level negotiations in Riyadh, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov has said.
Senior US and Russian officials met in Saudi Arabia in February, in the first major talks between the two superpowers since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022.
”We discussed the situation around Iran, yes. And we agreed to hold separate talks on this matter,” Ushakov told the press on Tuesday when asked about Western media reports to that effect.
No set date for the talks has been agreed as of yet, he added.
