Putin’s diplomatic adviser Yuri Ushakov said the Russian president presented several ideas aimed at achieving a quick political and diplomatic resolution to the Iranian conflict.
Ushakov added that these proposals were based on contacts Russia has held with leaders of Gulf states, Iran’s president and other international figures involved in discussions surrounding the crisis.
