Russia Denies Evidence of Iran's Nuclear Aspirations

In a recent interview with Sky News Arabia, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized that there is no evidence to substantiate claims that Iran is seeking to develop nuclear weapons.

Putin asserted that both Russia and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have consistently informed Israeli leadership of the absence of such evidence.

He further expressed Russia's willingness to support Iran's peaceful nuclear initiative, underscoring Iran's entitlement to pursue such a program. At an economic forum in St. Petersburg, Putin mentioned Russia's attempts to mediate in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, though he withheld specific details.
