Today (June 15th, Beijing Time), Russian and American leaders had a phone call. Trump wrote on social media: "President Putin called this morning to very courteously wish me a happy birthday, but more importantly, he wanted to talk about Iran, the country he knows very well. We talked for a long time. We didn't discuss the issues between Russia and Ukraine in such detail, but we will leave that for next week. He is proceeding as planned with the prisoner exchange - both sides are immediately exchanging a large number of prisoners. The call lasted about an hour. He and I believe that this war with Iran should end. I explained that his war should also end."
[Insight] A few comments: From the practical results, the negotiation between the United States and Iran seems to be a smokescreen.表面上 it appears to seek a peaceful resolution, but in reality, it lowers Iran's vigilance. Iran's domestic intelligence system has been infiltrated and riddled with loopholes. This allowed Israel's carefully planned attack on the leadership of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps to succeed, causing significant casualties among the command layer. Russian President Putin spoke with both Iran and Israel yesterday and then had a conversation with U.S. President Trump today. What Russia can currently do for Iran is to try to reduce the intensity of Israel's military actions against Iran through diplomatic channels. However, Russia also lacks more resources to help Iran at present. Iran's current situation is very dangerous, and it can only rely on itself to cope with the pressure and challenges from all sides.
