MOSCOW, April 2 - Russia is ready to contribute to resolving the Iran conflict and President Vladimir Putin is continuing to talk with regional leaders, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.
"The president is continuing these contacts, and if our services are somehow required, we are, of course, ready to make our contribution to ensuring that the military situation transitions to a peaceful course as soon as possible," Peskov told reporters.
Peskov was responding to a question about U.S. President Donald Trump's speech to the nation about the Iran war and his separate comment that he was considering pulling the United States out of NATO.
