Russia condemned Netanyahu’s Holocaust comments, reiterating its defense of Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. Russia denounced the ongoing US-Israeli aggression against Iran, including strikes on Iranian military and civilian infrastructure. Russia supports renewed negotiations with the US to return to the JCPOA, advocating for diplomatic resolutions.
Despite Trump’s deadline extension for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, diplomatic pathways remain open. A reset of the nuclear file along the lines of the JCPOA is a plausible solution, with Iran proposing capped uranium enrichment levels. This would allow the US president to claim Iran is under strict controls while avoiding further regional conflict.
