Russia stated that the offer is still standing, but it will not proceed without movement. The Kremlin also criticized Trump's threats to blockade the Strait of Hormuz after the failed negotiations between the United States and Iran, which were hosted by Pakistan, and the US military's announcement that it would begin blockading Iranian ports later on Monday. Peskov said that 'such steps will likely continue to have a negative impact on international markets'. The Kremlin announced on Monday that Russia is ready to take Iranian enriched uranium as part of any possible peace agreement with the United States. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists in response to a question from France Press that 'President Vladimir Putin put forward this proposal during contacts with both the United States and regional countries'.
