EU Rejects Russia as Neutral Mediator in Iran-Israel Conflict

A senior European Union official has responded to the Kremlin’s offer to mediate between Iran and Israel, stating clearly: “We do not see Russia as an impartial mediator.” The remark comes after Russian officials publicly floated the idea of stepping in to de-escalate the ongoing military conflict. But according to EU sources, Moscow’s close ties with Tehran and adversarial stance toward the West undermine any claim to neutrality.
