The Kremlin on Tuesday announced that the Russian President Vladimir Putin will relay the concerns of Gulf leaders to Tehran following a series of Iranian strikes on infrastructure across the region.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Putin intends to “make every effort to facilitate at least minor easing of tension” as hostilities intensify in the Middle East.
According to Peskov, the Russian leader held telephone conversations on Monday with the heads of state of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
During the calls, Gulf leaders expressed what he described as “deep concern” over Iranian strikes targeting infrastructure on their territories.
The Kremlin said Putin would communicate those concerns directly to Iranian authorities as part of Moscow’s diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions amid the expanding regional conflict.
