Russia: 'No word from Iran' on Trump's 15-point ceasefire plan — Kremlin Peskov has no details
·Moscow, Russia
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on March 25 that Russia had received no information from Iran about the reported US 15-point ceasefire plan and could not assess the reliability of such reports. Moscow has no details from Tehran on the proposal, indicating Iran has not consulted its traditional ally Russia before engaging with the US back-channel.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Wednesday that Russia had received no information from Iran regarding the reported US 15-point ceasefire plan transmitted through Pakistan. Peskov said Moscow 'could not assess the reliability of such reports' without confirmation from Tehran. The statement reveals that Iran has not kept Russia informed about the Pakistan back-channel negotiations — a notable diplomatic detail given Russia's traditional role as a guarantor of Iran's nuclear agreements and a key partner in navigating Western sanctions. Iran engaging in ceasefire diplomacy without consulting Moscow suggests Tehran is either: (a) not taking the US proposal seriously enough to brief allies; (b) deliberately keeping Russia at arm's length to preserve diplomatic flexibility; or (c) signaling to the US that Iran can negotiate bilaterally without Russian backing. Russia's outsider status in the negotiations is consistent with the US-Pakistan-Iran back-channel structure that deliberately bypasses the UN Security Council and traditional Russia/China nuclear deal frameworks.

Actor responses
US-Pakistan-Iran back-channel deliberately bypasses Russia. Russia's exclusion from ceasefire discussions is consistent with US preference for bilateral engagement over multilateral frameworks that give Moscow veto power.
