Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that a deal to end the fighting between Israel and Iran was possible, and that Israel's strikes on Iran had led to a "consolidation" of Iranian society around its leadership, APA reports citing AFP.
"We see that today in Iran there is a consolidation of society around the country's political leadership," Putin told foreign journalists, including AFP, at a televised event.
This is a delicate issue, and of course we need to be very careful here, but in my opinion, a solution can be found," he added.
Putin said such an agreement could guarantee both Israel's security and Iran's desire for a civilian nuclear programme.
Israel said its surprise air campaign was aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons -- an ambition Tehran denies.
"I believe it would be good for all of us together to look for ways to stop the fighting and seek ways for the participants in the conflict to find an agreement," he said.
