MOSCOW, October 6. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a phone call this evening where they talked about Syria and the Iranian nuclear issue, among other things, the Kremlin press service said.
"The sides exchanged views on regional topics. Thus, they expressed readiness to try to find negotiated solutions to the situation around the Iranian nuclear program and further stabilization in Syria," it said.
Five rounds of nuclear talks between Iran and the United States in 2025 yielded no results amid Israel’s military operation against Iran and US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
On September 9, Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) signed an agreement in Egypt to resume cooperation, which had been suspended following the June attacks by Israel and the United States. The lack of condemnation from the IAEA toward the countries that struck nuclear facilities had drawn criticism in Tehran.
On September 29, the UN Security Council voted down Russia and China’s draft resolution providing for a six-month extension of resolution 2231 that supports the Iranian nuclear deal. The United Nations’ anti-Iranian sanctions came into force from September 28.
