MOSCOW, February 6. /TASS/. The Kremlin does not regard Iran as a terrorist state and it is going to build up relations with that country, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the media.
"We disagree with this postulate," Peskov said in response to US President Donald Trump’s statement Iran is "terrorist state number one".

"You all know that Russia has good relations of partnership with Iran and we cooperate with that country on a number of issues. We appreciate our relations in the trading and economic sphere and we hope for their further development," he stated.

Peskov believes the points of contention in the stances assumed by Moscow and Washington (including the Iran issue) should not hamper work to develop relations between the two countries.

"It is no secret that the positions of Moscow and Washington on a number of global and regional issues are diametrically opposite," he said when asked whether differences in the two countries’ approaches towards Iran could hinder normalization of relations between Russia and the US. However, this cannot be and should not be a stumbling block for building communication and pragmatic mutually beneficial relations between Russia and the US."

Earlier, Trump told Fox News in an interview Iran had no respect for Iran.

"It’s terrorist state number one. They are sending money all over the place and weapons," Trump claimed.

Earlier, the Kremlin’s press-service that in their telephone conversation on January 28 the Russian and US presidents had a detailed discussion on topical international issues, including the Iranian nuclear program. They agreed to establish partnership and cooperation along all lines.

Trump seeks to wedge Russia, Iran over future of Middle East

Donald Trump wants Vladimir Putin to break ties with Tehran.

The Trump administration is *exploring ways to break Russia’s military and diplomatic alliance with Iran in a bid to both end the Syrian conflict and bolster the fight against Islamic State, said senior administration, European and Arab officials involved in the policy discussions.

The emerging strategy seeks to reconcile US President Donald Trump’s seemingly contradictory vows to improve relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and to aggressively challenge the military presence of Iran — one of Moscow’s most critical allies — in the Middle East, the officials say.

A senior administration official said the White House had no illusions about Russia and did not see Mr Putin as a “choir boy”.

But the official said the administration did not view Russia as the same existential threat that the Soviet Union posed to the US during the Cold War and that Mr Trump was committed to constraining Iran. “If there’s a wedge to be driven between Russia and Iran, we’re willing to explore that,” the official said.

Such a strategy does not *entirely explain the mixed signals Mr Trump and his circle have sent to Moscow, which have unnerved US allies and caught Republican leaders in congress off guard.

Days after US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said a surge in violence in eastern Ukraine *demanded “clear and strong condemnation of Russian actions”, Vice-President Mike Pence suggested yesterday that Washington could lift sanctions on Moscow soon if it co-operated in the fight against Islamic State.

Mr Trump himself spoke again about wanting to mend relations with Mr Putin in an interview that aired yesterday, saying “it’s better to get along with Russia than not”. After Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said Mr Putin was a “killer”, the President responded: “What, you think our country’s so innocent?”

But those involved in the latest policy discussions argue there is a specific focus on trying to drive a wedge between Russia and Iran.

“There’s daylight between Russia and Iran for sure,” said a senior European official who has held discussions with Mr Trump’s *National Security Council staff in recent weeks. “What’s unclear is what Putin would demand in return for weakening the alliance.”

But persuading Mr Putin to break with Tehran would be *immensely difficult and — a number of Russian experts in Washington say — come at a heavy cost likely to reverberate across US alliances with its Western partners.

Nor would Mr Trump be the first US president to pursue the strategy: The Obama administration tried to coax Russia away from Iran, particularly in Syria.

“If the Kremlin is to reduce its arms supplies to Iran, it is likely to expect a significant easing of sanctions,” said Dimitri Simes, a Russia expert and president of the Centre for the National Interest in Washington. “The Russians don’t *believe in free lunches.”

The Kremlin has said it aims to mend ties with the US under the Trump administration but in recent months has also signalled its intent to continue to build on its co-operation with Iran.

Moscow and Tehran have formed a tight military alliance in Syria. The Kremlin is a major supplier of weapons systems and *nuclear equipment to Iran.

But the Trump administration is seeking to exploit what senior US, European and Arab officials see as potential divisions between Russia and Iran over their future strategy in Syria and the broader Middle East. “The issue is whether Putin is prepared to abandon (Ayatollah) Khamenei,” said *Michael Ledeen, an academic who advised National Security Council adviser Michael Flynn during the transition and co-wrote a book with him last year. “I think that might be possible if he is convinced we will ‘take care’ of Iran. I doubt he believes that today.”

Russia, Iran and Turkey have been leading talks in Kazakhstan in recent weeks to end Syria’s six-year war. Participants in the discussions, which have excluded high-level US diplomats, said Russia had appeared significantly more open than the Iranians to discussing a future without President Bashar al-Assad.

Moscow has pressed the Trump administration to join the talks at a high level, an invitation not extended while Barack Obama was in office. Last week, the administration sent only a lower-level official, its ambassador to Kazakhstan.

Mr Putin largely has succeeded in saving the Assad regime from collapse through a brutal air war in Syria over the past 18 months. But the Kremlin is interested in fortifying its long-term military presence in Syria and does not necessarily view Assad as an enduring partner, these officials said.

Iran is wedded to Assad as its primary partner for shipping weapons and funds to Iran’s military proxies in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories.

“Russia is fully aware of the corruption and incompetence of the Assad regime … (and) knows that a stable Syria — a country worth having military bases in the long term — is unattainable with Assad at the helm,” said Fred Hof, a former State Department official who oversaw Syria policy during Mr Obama’s first term.

He said: “Tehran knows there is no Syrian constituency beyond Assad accepting subordination to (Iran).”

The buildup of NATO troops in the Baltic States, Poland and Germany increases the risk of incidents and poses a threat to Russian security, Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksey Meshkov said, while giving assurances that Russia will be able to protect its citizens.

“This deployment is of course a threat for us,” Meshkov said in an interview with RIA Novosti, adding that Moscow is closely following the moves by NATO.

“And who said that it will end with this? We don’t have such information,” the Russian deputy foreign minister added.

The rotation principle used by NATO near Russian borders allows the bloc to train thousands of troops, who could then be put into action, Meshkov said.

“It’s obvious that the steps by NATO gravely increase the risk of incidents [between the alliance and Russian forces],” Meshkov warned.

“For the first time since World War II we see German soldiers along our borders,” he said, referring to the Lithuanian announcement that over 130 German troops, out of the planned 450 servicemen and 100 tanks, have arrived in the country.

The diplomat noted however that Moscow has repeatedly said that its own security was guaranteed.

He also said Moscow is still ready for dialogue with NATO, but added that “their every action will be followed by either a positive or negative answer. That’s the law of life.”

The US has deployed thousands of troops and heavy weaponry to the Baltic States, Poland and southeastern Europe, with the buildup intensified in the final months of Barack Obama’s presidency, after Donald Trump announced plans to mend relations with Moscow.

In January, 2,800 pieces of US military hardware, including US Abrams tanks, Paladin artillery, Bradley fighting vehicles and 4,000 troops arrived in Europe as part of the operation.

The forces were subsequently deployed across seven countries, including the Baltic states, Bulgaria, Romania and Germany, where the unit has its headquarters.

In July 2016, NATO members agreed to the “biggest reinforcement since the Cold War,” posting four multinational battalions to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.

NATO members Germany, Canada and Britain are also contributing to the significant NATO forces buildup in Eastern Europe and are sending battalions of up to 1,000 troops each to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

NATO explained its increased activity near Russian borders and in the Black Sea by the need to reassure its allies following Russia’s reunion with Crimea in 2014 and Moscow’s alleged involvement in the Ukrainian conflict.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also blasted NATO’s activities in the Black Sea region on Thursday, calling it a fight against a non-existent threat.

"Regarding NATO's activities [in the Black Sea area]... here our Western colleagues prefer to deal with virtual and generally non-existent threats," Zakharova said.

“Coming up with new, non-existent threats makes no sense” when the world is facing the challenges of international terrorism, she explained.
