US Edition'Let's Mediate Russia First,' Trump Says to Putin's Offer to Broker Israel-Iran Peace
- On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s suggestion to serve as an intermediary in the ongoing Israel-Iran hostilities, instead insisting that Putin focus on resolving the conflict in Ukraine first.
- Trump's response stemmed from Russia's ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine since February 2022 and Moscow's close alliance with Iran, which complicates its mediator role.
- Putin made his mediation offer during a press conference and claimed Russia already proposed a settlement to resolve the Israel-Iran conflict amid deadly Middle East hostilities and longstanding ties with both nations.
- Trump told reporters that Putin should focus on resolving issues involving Russia before attempting to act as a mediator, indicating skepticism about Russia's suitability to facilitate peace given its role in the conflict in Ukraine.
- Trump's dismissal implies that any Russian role in West Asian peace talks depends on ending the Ukraine war, while hostilities in the Middle East continue with Israel intensifying strikes on Iran.
