ISTANBUL (AA) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said late Wednesday that seeking ways to end the ongoing hostilities between Iran and Israel is “right for everyone.”

“It would be right for everyone to look for ways to stop the hostilities and find ways for all parties to this conflict to reach an agreement with each other in order to ensure both the interests of Iran on the one hand in its nuclear activity…and to ensure the interests of Israel, from the point of view of the unconditional security of the Jewish state,” he said during a meeting with the heads of international media organizations.

During the meeting held in the city of St. Petersburg, Putin said there are options to ensure Iran’s interests and alleviate concerns on the Israeli side and that these were presented to partners.

He further said that Russia and Iran signed a contract for the construction of two more units at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant.

“The work is underway, our specialists are on site, over 200 people. We have agreed with the Israeli leadership that their safety will be ensured," he added.
