Moscow backs Iran’s peaceful nuclear program: Putin
Putin told Sky News Arabia that Russia supports Iran’s right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, emphasizing that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has “found no evidence” suggesting Tehran seeks to build nuclear weapons.
He reaffirmed Russia’s firm opposition to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, describing Iran’s fatwa banning nuclear weapons as a serious and “important” step that should be taken seriously.
“We believe Iran has the right to use nuclear energy peacefully, and we are ready to help,” Putin said.
Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, on June 13 prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.
