Iran is an ally of Russia, and Moscow sees a potential for a peace settlement regarding the country's nuclear program, which is a concern for the United States, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated at a news briefing, APA reports citing TASS.

"The Russian position is that this issue - Iran's nuclear dossier - should be resolved exclusively through peaceful, political, and diplomatic means," Peskov said. "We believe there is potential for this."

"As Iran is our ally and partner, a country with which we are developing comprehensive, mutually beneficial, and respectful cooperation, Russia is ready to do everything possible to facilitate this," Peskov added. "The United States is aware of this."

Iran's nuclear program was briefly discussed in Riyadh during high-level talks between Moscow and Washington. "It was touched upon, but not in detail," the Kremlin spokesman noted. "We anticipate separate discussions on this topic. In fact, this has been proposed: to establish it as a distinct area of our dialogue and future consultations."
