On October 8, 2026, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Turkmenistan, pledging Russia's support to help end the ongoing US-led war on Iran. Putin stated that Russia would 'do everything' to assist in resolving the conflict, which he claimed Iran did not initiate. The meeting occurred ahead of a Commonwealth of Independent States summit and follows a history of strengthened diplomatic and military ties between Russia and Iran. Both leaders acknowledged the impasse in Iran-US negotiations, with Pezeshkian describing talks with Washington as 'meaningless.' Putin also expressed readiness to mediate in the conflict.
