MOSCOW, April 2 (Reuters) – Russia is ready to contribute to resolving the ​Iran conflict and President ‌Vladimir Putin is continuing to talk with regional leaders, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov ‌said ​on Thursday.

“The president ⁠is continuing these ⁠contacts, and if our services are somehow required, we are, of course, ​ready to make our contribution to ensuring ⁠that the ⁠military situation transitions ​to a peaceful course as ​soon as possible,” Peskov ‌told reporters.

Peskov was responding to a question about U.S. President Donald Trump’s ⁠speech to the nation about the Iran war and his ⁠separate ‌comment that he ⁠was considering pulling ​the ‌United States out of ​NATO.

Russia ⁠views NATO as a hostile alliance, Peskov said.
