The war between Israel and Iran that has been going on for the past five days has thrown the Middle East into a deep shadow of tension. The two countries are heating up the battlefield with continuous missile attacks on each other. In this delicate situation, Russia and China have gained global attention by offering to mediate in the Israel-Iran conflict. Putin’s important talks with world leaders Russian Presidential Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov shed light on the current situation and said, “President Vladimir Putin has held important telephone talks with a number of world leaders in the past few days. He has spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Iranian President Masoud Peshmerga, and US President Donald Trump.” Peskov added, “Russia is fully prepared to mediate if necessary in order to find a solution to the current crisis and to make efforts to restore peace in the Middle East. All our relevant agencies are closely monitoring the situation. We have heard and read Netanyahu’s statements. We strongly condemn such activities that are creating such a dangerous situation in the region.” China's willingness to mediate and diplomatic efforts Along with Russia, China has also expressed its willingness to mediate in the Israel-Iran war. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said that "Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke with the Israeli Foreign Minister over the phone last weekend. He appealed to both Israel and Iran to resolve their differences through dialogue. China will continue to play its role in resolving the current Israel-Iran conflict." Guo Jiakun added that "China has always supported a peaceful resolution of the Iranian nuclear issue, which is possible through political and diplomatic means. China will continue to communicate and coordinate with relevant parties and play a decisive role in this matter. If necessary, we are also ready to play a major role in resolving this conflict."
