Russia Has Repeatedly Assured Israel Iran Isn’t Building Nuclear Weapons, Says Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that Moscow has repeatedly assured Israel that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons.

In an interview with Sky News Arabia, Putin said, “We have consistently informed the Israeli leadership that, according to our data, Iran is not seeking to develop nuclear arms.”

Putin also accused Israel of attempting to draw third-party countries into its conflict with Iran, warning against further escalation.

His remarks come amid heightened tensions in the region and growing concerns over Iran’s nuclear programme.

Earlier, Russia’s representative at the United Nations Security Council echoed this stance, saying that Iran’s nuclear activities are well known to the international community and are being monitored.

Russia has maintained close relations with both Iran and Israel, positioning itself as a potential mediator in the ongoing regional crisis.
