Kremlin: in constant contact with Iran leadership — ready to contribute to peace and stability

The Kremlin announced it is in constant contact with Iranian leadership and that Moscow is ready to contribute to a return to peace and stability in the region. The statement reinforces the pattern established over Day 11-12: Putin's call to Pezeshkian, Russia's protest over the Isfahan consulate damage, and now a public declaration of active mediation readiness. The Kremlin's 'constant contact' language is more active than typical diplomatic positioning — it signals Russia is positioning itself as a genuine go-between, not merely a vocal critic of the strikes. Combined with Oman's naval rescue of the Thai ship crew and the ongoing Oman back-channel tradition, Russia and Oman are now the two primary potential intermediaries for any ceasefire or humanitarian pause. Russia's leverage: it has diplomatic relationships with Iran, historical weapons ties, and a direct grievance (Isfahan consulate damage) that gives it standing in any negotiation.
