The US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities will not affect the bilateral dialogue between Moscow and Washington as these are independent processes, the Russian president’s press spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, explained to reporters.

“These are independent procedures, Peskov responded to a question.

“We have our partnership, a strategic partnership with Iran, but we are also working on restoring our relations with the United States. Both are very important directions for us,” the Kremlin spokesman added, noting further that the “possibility of settling in many other areas” also depends on the dialogue between Moscow and Washington.
