Russia has offered to mediate between the United States and Iran, a source briefed on discussions told Reuters on Tuesday, as the Kremlin vowed to do everything possible to facilitate a peaceful solution to tensions over Tehran's nuclear program.

The Kremlin has offered to help Washington engage with Iran on its nuclear programme and its use of anti-Western proxies.

Over the past three years, the partnership has become deeper still, as Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine, and the resulting Western pressure, have helped transform Russia into an international pariah. That has turned the Islamic Republic into something resembling a lifeline for Mr. Putin’s government.
