# Russia says tensions around Iran’s nuclear programme could only be solved “diplomatically” and called for “restraint,” after US President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran if it develops nuclear weapons. Trump last week had said “there will be bombing” of Iran if it does not drop its efforts to develop nuclear weapons. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov says all sides should show restraint and concentrate on diplomatic efforts. Trump pulled the US out of an agreement in 2018 that relieved sanctions on Tehran in return for curbing its nuclear programme.
