Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday proposed a video summit with the United States, Britain, France, China, Germany and Iran in a bid to avoid 'confrontation and escalation' at the United Nations, where Washington is trying to extend an arms embargo on Tehran.
MOSCOW/NEW YORK - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday proposed a video summit with the United States, Britain, France, China, Germany and Iran in a bid to avoid “confrontation and escalation” at the United Nations, where Washington is trying to extend an arms embargo on Tehran.
“The issue is urgent,” Putin said in a statement, adding that the alternative was “only further escalation of tensions, increasing risk of conflict - such a scenario must be avoided.” If the United States is unsuccessful it has threatened to trigger a return of all U.N. sanctions on Iran using a provision in the nuclear deal, known as snapback, even though Washington quit the accord in 2018. Diplomats say the United States could try to do this as early as next week.
He also said leaders could discuss establishing “reliable security and confidence building measures in the Persian Gulf” adding that this could be “achieved if we combine the political will and constructive approach of all our states and the states in the region.”
