Kremlin confirms Putin’s interview with Tucker Carlson

President Vladimir Putin of Russia granted an exclusive interview to U.S. television host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday, as confirmed by the Kremlin.

This marks Putin’s first interview with an American journalist since before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine nearly two years ago.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Putin agreed to the interview with Carlson due to the host’s perceived departure from the “one-sided” reporting on the Ukraine conflict prevalent in many Western news outlets.

“In terms of coverage, the large network media, TV channels, and newspapers of the collective West cannot be said to even attempt impartiality,” Peskov remarked during a regular news briefing on Wednesday.

“Pro-American”

Peskov highlighted Carlson’s approach as distinctively “pro-American” rather than specifically pro-Russian or pro-Ukrainian, offering a reason behind Putin’s decision to engage with the journalist.

The interview is anticipated to be broadcast on Thursday, as reported by Russia’s TASS news agency, citing sources from the Wall Street Journal.

Putin, who ordered the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, last participated in a formal interview with a U.S. media outlet in October 2021, with CNBC’s Hadley Gamble. Since then, he has primarily communicated with media from Russia, China, and Kazakhstan.

Touch media

The departure of numerous Western media organisations from Moscow, coupled with stringent media laws enacted following the conflict, has limited international coverage from within Russia.

In March 2023, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, an American citizen, was detained on spying charges.

In anticipation of the interview, Carlson emphasised its significance for American audiences to comprehend Russia’s perspective on the war in Ukraine.

He clarified that the interview did not imply an endorsement of Putin’s viewpoints but aimed to provide viewers with comprehensive information.

Unprovoked act

While Putin maintains that the deployment of troops into Ukraine is essential for Russia’s national security, Kyiv and its Western allies denounce it as an unprovoked act of aggression and territorial expansionism.

Carlson, who has criticised Western media coverage favoring Kyiv’s narrative, disclosed that he had also requested an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Iran buries nuclear site entrances amid rising tensions with the U.S.

Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.

The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.

The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.

Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.

Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
