Russian President Vladimir Putin has told both US President Donald Trump and Iranian officials that he supports the idea of an agreement on the nuclear program of Iran, in which Tehran will not be able to enrich uraniumsaid the Axios news website today, citing sources.

Russia has been Iran’s main diplomatic supporter on the issue of nuclear for years. But while Moscow publicly supports Iran’s right to enrich uranium, Putin has taken a tougher position in private after the 12 -day war between Israel and Iransays Axios.

Moscow has encouraged the Iranians to agree on “zero enrichment”, according to three European officials and an Israeli official who knows the matter.

Two sources reported that the Russians also informed the Israeli government about its position Putin on Iran’s uranium enrichment. “We know that Putin said this to the Iranians,” said a senior Israeli official.

Putin also expressed this position in telephone conversations last week with Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron.

Israeli and American attacks caused serious damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities, but did not destroy all the celestial high enrichment and the extent of the damage is not clear.

Trump has made it clear that he wants a new nuclear deal with Iran. If negotiations are held in the coming weeks, zero uranium enrichment in Iranian territory will be one of the main demands of the US, sources said.

Iran has long insisted that it must maintain the capacity of enrichment under any agreement.

Putin and other Russian officials have conveyed their support for a “zero -enrichment” agreement in Iran several times in recent weeks, sources said.

“Putin would support zero enrichment. He encouraged the Iranians to work in this direction so that negotiations with the Americans became more favorable. The Iranians said they would not consider it, “a European official said with immediate knowledge of the matter.

Putin’s position is particularly noteworthy given the extensive support that Iran provided to Russia during the war with Ukraine, including the supply of hundreds of aggressive drones and ground-rockets.

During and after the 12 -day war, the Iranians were disappointed that the Russians did not provide them with any significant support beyond statements in the press.

The Kremlin and the White House did not respond to comment requests. The Iranian mission to the UN refused to comment.

The Russians have made it clear publicly and, in particular, that if an agreement is reached, they are willing to remove Iran’s high -rising celestial.

Russia has stated that it will then supply Iran with celestial 3.67% for nuclear power and small amounts of 20% of Uranus -enriched uranium for Tehran’s research reactor and the production of nuclear isotopes, sources said.

White House envoy, Steve Whitkov, talks to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragsi about the re -opening of nuclear negotiations.

One plan was to meet in Oslo in the coming days, but sources reported that both the Iranians and Witkov have moved away from the idea.
