00:14A possible diplomatic opening in the Iran war is now in focus, as Iranian President
00:20Massoud Pazeshkian turns to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a clear message.
00:26Tehran wants the war to end, but it wants its rights respected.
00:31Meeting Putin ahead of the Commonwealth of Independent States summit in Turkmenistan,
00:36Pazeshkian thanked Moscow for its position on the conflict in West Asia.
00:40And his message was direct.
00:43We are trying our best to put an end to the war as soon as possible and make sure our
00:48rights are respected.
00:49But there is a condition behind that push for peace.
00:54Pazeshkian warned that if the United States acts unilaterally and fails to accommodate
00:58Iran's interests, bringing the conflict to an end in the near future could become impossible.
01:04In other words, Tehran is signaling that it wants a diplomatic solution, but it is not
01:10prepared to accept an outcome it believes ignores its demands.
01:14So what is Russia offering?
01:17During the meeting, Putin pledged that Moscow would do everything within its power to contribute
01:22to a settlement.
01:23We are ready to do everything that is in our power to contribute to a settlement of this
01:28situation, Putin said, according to Russia's TASS news agency.
01:33Putin also praised Iran's efforts to end the war, while Pazeshkian reaffirmed that Tehran
01:38would not walk away from the search for a diplomatic solution.
01:41That matters because Russia and Iran have continued to strengthen their diplomatic and military
01:47cooperation, even as the conflict places further pressure on regional stability.
01:52But a key question remains.
01:55Can Moscow help bring Washington and Tehran back to meaningful negotiations?
02:00The diplomatic track has faced serious obstacles.
02:03Talks between the United States and Iran reportedly stalled last month after both sides reported
02:09a fresh wave of strikes.
02:11Meanwhile, the conflict has expanded beyond direct military exchanges.
02:15Iran has targeted U.S.-linked facilities across the Gulf and blocked the strategically important
02:21Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global energy supplies.
02:26The stakes are significant because nearly 20 percent of global energy trade passes through the strait.
02:31Any prolonged disruption could have consequences far beyond West Asia, particularly for energy
02:38markets and countries that depend heavily on imported oil and gas.
02:42The war began on February 28, 2026, when the United States and Israel launched joint strikes
02:49on Iran amid stalled negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program.
02:54Since then, military escalation and diplomatic efforts have continued side by side.
02:59And now Putin is publicly offering Russia's help, while Puzeshkian is making clear that Iran wants
03:05the fighting to stop without surrendering what it considers its national rights.
03:10But an offer to mediate is not the same as a breakthrough.
03:13The crucial test will be whether Washington and Tehran can return to negotiations, address
03:19their competing demands, and agree on terms that can actually bring the fighting to an end.
03:24For now, the message from Moscow and Tehran is that diplomacy remains on the table.
03:30The question is whether that message can translate to action before the conflict drags on even longer.
03:37It has a message from Moscow and Tehran can return to India, 1928, which is quite simple.
03:45The problem is that the time of the time it strikes its way more to only that,
03:46the future of Taiwan is a global dream.
03:47And the future of it is that it is not the end of September 23, 217,
03:54The proposal is that it is a rummage in the country in Geneva.
03:56We hope that everyone will bring the filth in the country by the country by the country by the country
03:57by the country by the country.
03:58The amount of time it is a further ad libization.
03:59The European Union with the country that is a really amazing Oczywiście and the country by the North Market Authority
03:59will bring up the country by the country by the country.
03:59The attack of Canada or the country by the country that is a university of North America.
