We demand an immediate return to the path of political and diplomatic settlement. Russia, as before, is ready to contribute to the search for peaceful solutions based on international law, mutual respect, and a balance of interests, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on the situation surrounding Iran.
“The reckless armed aggression of the United States and Israel is unfounded. They attacked Iran under the pretext of resuming negotiations.
The motives of the United States and Israel in the situation surrounding Iran have nothing to do with the nuclear non-proliferation regime. The United States and Israel bear full responsibility for the escalation, which is aimed at eliminating the Iranian leadership.
The dangerous adventurism of the United States and Israel is rapidly bringing the Middle East closer to a humanitarian, economic, and radiological catastrophe,” the statement continued.
