Russian President Vladimir Putin tells his UAE counterpart Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan that Russia is closely monitoring the situation in Iran and wants to discuss it with him in Kremlin talks.
Putin makes the comment at the start of talks with the UAE president whose country has recently hosted peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the potential for talks between the US and Iran had not yet been exhausted, and that any use of force against Tehran could create “chaos” in the region and lead to dangerous consequences.
