(Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin has told U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian officials that he supports the idea of a nuclear deal in which Iran is unable to enrich uranium, Axios reported on Saturday, citing sources.

Iran’s semi-official news agency Tasnim denied the report, quoting an “informed source” as saying Putin had not sent any message to Iran in this regard.
