Support for Iran's Nuclear Program from President Putin: Confirmation of Use of Nuclear Energy for Peaceful Purposes
Moscow, May 13. Russian President Vladimir Putin has outrightly rejected the claims made by Western countries regarding Iran's nuclear program.
Speaking to the media after the Victory Day parade in Moscow, Putin stated that there is no concrete evidence of Iran attempting to develop nuclear weapons. He emphasized that the main focus of ongoing energy projects in Iran, including the Bushehr nuclear plant, is the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Putin clarified that Russia's work is not influenced by the current global circumstances and that they are fully prepared to continue nuclear cooperation with Iran in the future.
He described the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran as a 'very difficult battle,' which has put Russia in a complex situation. He mentioned that Russia has strong relations with both Iran and the countries of the Persian Gulf, and therefore, they are actively working to open pathways for mediation and dialogue between the two sides. The Russian president expressed hope that this tension would soon come to an end, as it is not in the interest of any country to prolong the war.
He emphasized the possibilities of a diplomatic solution, stating that new agreements are still possible, similar to the 2015 agreement. Responding to questions regarding Iran's uranium enrichment program, Putin highlighted the important role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). He reiterated that Russia's proposal is still on the table, under which uranium processing could be conducted under the direct supervision and control of the UN's nuclear watchdog.
Russia wants to ensure that Iran's nuclear material remains completely secure and under the monitoring of the global community. Putin has advocated for a transparent and internationally cooperative framework to resolve the ongoing diplomatic tensions between Washington and Tehran.
