Russian Foreign Ministry: Don't lie — Putin did not persuade Tehran to agree to a deal with the United States

The publication of the American edition of Axios that Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly persuaded Iran to agree to a deal with the United States involving zero uranium enrichment is a "dirty politicized campaign." This is stated in the message of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"One can only guess who was the customer this time, but one of the latest publications of the publication under the heading "Sensation: Putin calls on Iran to accept a deal with the United States involving "zero enrichment" is apparently another dirty politicized campaign that is being started to escalate tensions around the Iranian nuclear program," they said in the diplomatic department.

The Ministry stressed that Moscow has repeatedly stressed the need to resolve the crisis over the Iranian nuclear program exclusively by political and diplomatic means, and expressed its readiness to assist. In this regard, the world's media should rely on official sources of information, "delve deeply into the subject, and not replicate fakes."
