Russia has expressed willingness to facilitate negotiations between Iran and the United States on the nuclear issue, but Tehran has made it clear it will not engage under the conditions set by the Trump administration, according to a senior diplomatic source.
The source told Lebanon's Al-Mayadeen network, which is affiliated with Hezbollah, that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov conveyed Moscow’s readiness to advance diplomatic talks with Washington during his visit to Tehran. While Iran welcomed Russia’s initiative, the source emphasized that it refuses to negotiate with the U.S. under Trump’s terms.
