Details: Trump stated that he would be "open" to the Kremlin ruler acting as a mediator in the conflict between Israel and Iran, adding that Putin himself is "ready" to do so.
Quote: "He called me about it. We had a long talk about it. We talked about this more than his situation. This is something I believe is going to get resolved."
More details: Trump has not ruled out possible US intervention in the current Israel-Iran conflict either, although he did not specify the conditions under which this could happen or what form it would take.
Background:
- On 14 June, Putin and Trump held a phone call focusing on the escalation between Iran and Israel.
- Trump had said earlier that he was "doing a lot" to broker a peace deal between Tehran and Jerusalem.
- Iran has rejected the possibility of resuming talks with the US over its nuclear programme, citing Washington's continued support for Israel.
