Russian President Vladimir Putin offered Wednesday to help mediate an end to the conflict between Israel and Iran, suggesting Moscow could help negotiate a settlement that could allow Tehran to pursue a peaceful atomic program while assuaging Israeli security concerns.
Speaking to senior news leaders of international news agencies, Putin noted that
“it’s a delicate issue,” but added that “in my view, a solution could be found.”
Asked how Russia would react if Israel kills Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Putin refused to answer, saying that
“I don’t even want to discuss such a possibility.”
Khamenei has rejected U.S. calls for surrender in the face of more Israeli strikes and warned that any military involvement by the Americans would cause “irreparable damage to them.” (AP News)
What is the significance of this action on the part of Vladimir Putin?
First of all, Putin has a long standing personal relationship (friendship) with Netanyahu. Second, Iran and Russia are allies from the military standpoint.
The Russian Federation is acutely aware that Netanyahu is a US proxy and that the threat directed against Iran emanates from the US military and intelligence apparatus.
Who calls the shots in the U.S.? Is it Trump or is it the “shadow government” affiliated to the Democrats who in turn have links to their “partners” in EU-NATO including the UK (Starmer), Germany (Merz) and France (Macron).
What is at stake is a complex system of alliances and cross-cutting coalitions.
