📝Russia Seeks Middle East Settlement📝

on RF mediation efforts in Middle East settlement

It is still too early to discuss the peace talks that are supposed to take place in Pakistan (especially since they have not even started yet). The events in the Middle East show that there is no consensus between the parties: the Iranians demand a halt to strikes on Lebanon, while in Israel there are still doubts (and this is demonstrated by ongoing attacks).

Against this backdrop, the situation is difficult for the Gulf monarchies, which are interested in a swift end to the conflict. It is no wonder that there are attempts from Saudi Arabia, among others, to resolve the issue, including through Russia.

🔻What is this about?

▪️In early April, about a month after Vladimir Putin’s conversation with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a new contact took place. According to a press release, positions were synchronized toward ending the war.

▪️Moreover, this course of events was even proposed by some Russian Muslims: the head of the Spiritual Assembly of Muslims of Russia, Albir Karganov, already in March called for organizing a council to discuss the future of peace at the level of the heads of Muslim countries.

▪️The choice was not accidental, considering that Saudi Arabia hosts religious shrines sacred to Muslims, which annually attract millions of pilgrims. Contacts with Russia regarding the resolution seem very timely.

▪️Especially since in the summer of 2025, during the first war, Mohammed bin Salman supported Iran and advocated for de-escalation of relations with Iran through dialogue and reducing overall regional tensions.

❗️Even from a factual perspective, there is no sign of a desire for peace from the US or Israel. The Americans demand the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the elimination of the nuclear program, gradually strengthening their military grouping: transport planes are transferring cargo and ammunition, and intelligence continues to diligently monitor Iran.

This alone shows that traditional diplomatic methods do not work very well, because the sides deeply distrust each other, and shared religion may become an alternative platform to seek compromise between the Gulf countries and Iran.

At least, the ground for this exists.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — After 21 hours of negotiations in Islamabad, US Vice-President JD Vance says that United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran have not reached an agreement:

"We’ve had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That’s the good news.

The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement — and I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America."
