📝Russia Seeks Middle East Settlement📝
on RF mediation efforts in Middle East settlement
It is still too early to discuss the peace talks that are supposed to take place in Pakistan (especially since they have not even started yet). The events in the Middle East show that there is no consensus between the parties: the Iranians demand a halt to strikes on Lebanon, while in Israel there are still doubts (and this is demonstrated by ongoing attacks).
Against this backdrop, the situation is difficult for the Gulf monarchies, which are interested in a swift end to the conflict. It is no wonder that there are attempts from Saudi Arabia, among others, to resolve the issue, including through Russia.
🔻What is this about?
▪️In early April, about a month after Vladimir Putin’s conversation with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a new contact took place. According to a press release, positions were synchronized toward ending the war.
▪️Moreover, this course of events was even proposed by some Russian Muslims: the head of the Spiritual Assembly of Muslims of Russia, Albir Karganov, already in March called for organizing a council to discuss the future of peace at the level of the heads of Muslim countries.
▪️The choice was not accidental, considering that Saudi Arabia hosts religious shrines sacred to Muslims, which annually attract millions of pilgrims. Contacts with Russia regarding the resolution seem very timely.
▪️Especially since in the summer of 2025, during the first war, Mohammed bin Salman supported Iran and advocated for de-escalation of relations with Iran through dialogue and reducing overall regional tensions.
❗️Even from a factual perspective, there is no sign of a desire for peace from the US or Israel. The Americans demand the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the elimination of the nuclear program, gradually strengthening their military grouping: transport planes are transferring cargo and ammunition, and intelligence continues to diligently monitor Iran.
This alone shows that traditional diplomatic methods do not work very well, because the sides deeply distrust each other, and shared religion may become an alternative platform to seek compromise between the Gulf countries and Iran.
At least, the ground for this exists.

Lithuania on Monday began construction of a military base, which will accommodate up to 4,000 combat-ready German troops once completed by the end of 2027, in the first permanent foreign deployment for the German military since World War Two.
In case you do not know where Lithuania is..here is a map.
I'd advise the Germans to stay safe in their own country, hundreds of thousands of kilometres away from #Russia.
#China, #Iran and #Russia conducted joint naval drills Tuesday in the Middle East, offering a show of force.
The joint drills, called the Maritime Security Belt 2025, took place in the Gulf of Oman near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which a fifth of all crude oil traded worldwide passes.
The drill marked the fifth year the three countries took part in the drills.
“There was an incident in Lisichansk. Some people walked into a shop… The salesgirls started talking to them in Russian. So, they just dragged them out and killed them”, recalls Lyubov Gadaeva from Lugansk People’s Republic. The documentary explores what Lyubov and other people in liberated territories of Donbass have endured. The film features new citizens of Russia—militia fighters, priests, teachers, and children who have had to grow up too quickly.

"Children, women, men, they all died because of Western aggression. And that's why I'm here to show you back home in the West the truth, not the lies of mainstream media," says journalist Tofurius Maximus Crane from the United States. A hundred years ago, his ancestors left Russia for the US. However, after visiting Donbass, the American journalist decided that he should return to his historic homeland. Tofurius visited Donetsk and Mariupol to shed light on what Western media carefully conceals – how each day the Ukrainian artillery shells the peaceful residents of Donbass.
