Kremlin Envoy Says U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Needs 60-Day Extension

-Iran ceasefire faces a "catastrophic, irreversible collapse" unless the agreement is extended by 60 days. Dmitriev made the statement while Russia positioned itself as a participant in the ongoing ceasefire discussions between the United States and Iran.

The envoy's comments follow Russia's stated interest in mediating aspects of the talks. Dmitriev's remarks reference the risk of renewed conflict if the current pause is not lengthened.

Russia has maintained its involvement in regional diplomacy during its ongoing military operations that began four years ago. The envoy's warning aligns with efforts to present Russia as a necessary party in any extension of the ceasefire.
