Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday and offered Russia’s support to help resolve the ongoing US–Iran conflict in West Asia.

He assured that Moscow is ready to play a role in finding a peaceful solution after the recent talks between the United States and Iran ended without an agreement in Islamabad.

“Vladimir Putin emphasised his readiness to further facilitate the search for a political and diplomatic settlement to the conflict, and to mediate efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in the Middle East," the Kremlin said in its readout of the call.

US–Iran Talks End Without Deal in Islamabad

The latest round of talks between the US and Iran failed after 21 hours of intense negotiations in Islamabad. Despite the deadlock, the two-week ceasefire between the two sides is still holding.

These discussions were significant as they marked the first direct talks between Washington and Tehran since 1979.

Key Issues Block Agreement

Major differences between the two sides prevented a breakthrough. The main points of disagreement included Iran’s nuclear programme, control of the Strait of Hormuz, and its ballistic missile capabilities.

After the talks collapsed, all members of both delegations left Pakistan, reducing hopes for immediate further negotiations.

JD Vance Says No Agreement Reached

US Vice President JD Vance, who led the American delegation, confirmed that the talks ended without a deal. “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," he said.

“So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. We’ve made very clear what our red lines are."

Iran Blames US for Lack of Trust

Iran’s Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who led the delegation along with Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, blamed the US for the failure of the talks.

He said Washington failed to build trust, even though Iran presented what he described as “forward-looking initiatives" during the negotiations.

Ishaq Dar Urges Ceasefire to Continue

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stressed the importance of maintaining the current ceasefire.

He said it is “imperative" to preserve the two-week truce agreed last Tuesday, as both sides try to reduce tensions from the conflict that began on February 28 with air strikes by the US and Israel on Iran.
