Russian President Vladimir Putin conveyed to US President Donald Trump proposals for resolving the crisis around Iran, and Moscow will see how the coordination process goes, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
On Monday, Putin and Trump held a telephone conversation and discussed the international agenda among other things.
"At the moment, there is no such opportunity to specify, and there are no such intentions, actually. These proposals were brought by the president [Putin] to his interlocutor [Trump]. Let us see how the approval process goes further," Peskov told reporters, answering a question about what proposals Russia has made to resolve the situation around Iran.
Putin and Trump's conversation about the situation around Iran does not yet indicate that the Russian President became a mediator in the settlement, Peskov added.
"Russia is ready to provide assistance to the best of its ability, and it will be glad to do so. But you know that there needs to be multiple understanding, multiple coordination, so let us be patient a little bit," Peskov told reporters.
Many of the proposals that have been put forward by Russian President Vladimir Putin that could help reduce tensions in the Middle East still on the table, Peskov added.
Answering a question from reporters about whether Trump's decision on oil sanctions was discussed during a telephone conversation between the presidents, Peskov told journalists the two leaders did not discuss the topic.
"No, somehow this topic did not appear in any detail," he said.

On Ukraine Talks

All parties, including Russia, are interested in continuing trilateral negotiations on a settlement in Ukraine, Peskov said.
"The main specific is that the trilateral format must continue, precisely trilateral. Everyone is interested in it, and most importantly, the Americans are ready to continue their mediation efforts. President Putin highly values ​​these mediation efforts, we are grateful for this and are interested in this process continuing," Peskov told reporters, when asked whether any specifics had emerged regarding the continuation of trilateral negotiations on a settlement in Ukraine following Putin-Trump phone call.
There are no specific dates or locations for a new round of trilateral talks, the spokesman added.
Washington did not set conditions for Moscow to cease fire before continuing negotiations, Peskov also said.
"All the modalities associated with the ceasefire are already well understood," Peskov said, adding that it is hard to argue that everyone is interested in an early ceasefire in Ukraine.
"I can only say that [US Special Envoy] Steve Witkoff is indeed in constant contact with his Russian interlocutors. And this communication channel really allows us to send signals to each other on the most sensitive issues," Peskov told reporters.
