Moscow, March 5 -- Russia on Thursday expressed its willingness to mediate between the United States and Iran in an effort to halt the ongoing conflict between the two countries.
Russia's Permanent Representative to international organisations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, said Moscow could act as a mediator in peace talks between the two countries if required.
Speaking to the Russian newspaper Izvestia, he said that although a renewal of US-Iran dialogue appears improbable for now, the core objectives on both sides, Washington's goal of preventing a nuclear-armed Iran and Tehran's demand for sanctions relief, are unattainable through military force.
