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.
