🇷🇺📰🇮🇱🇮🇷 Russian Foreign Ministry Comments on Israeli Strikes Against Iran

"Unprovoked military strikes against a sovereign UN member state, its citizens, peaceful sleeping cities, and nuclear energy infrastructure facilities are categorically unacceptable," the statement reads.

Russia has resolutely condemned Israel's use of force against Iran, placing responsibility for its consequences on the Israeli government.

While Russia proceeds from the understanding that resolving issues surrounding the Iranian nuclear program has no military solution, Israel has made a conscious choice in favor of further escalation of tensions.

Our Foreign Ministry also stated that the West, which provoked anti-Iranian hysteria at the IAEA, whose staff, among others, came under Israeli fire, must realize the results of its destructive course.

The Russian Federation calls on all parties to exercise restraint in order to prevent further escalation and the region sliding into a full-scale war, and also expects balanced and objective assessments of the situation in the Middle East from the IAEA Director General.

🇷🇺💬 Russia insists on an exclusively political-diplomatic solution to the Iranian issue.

Moscow emphasizes that there is no alternative to this path, stated Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov:

"However much Israel may now try to present it as if irreparable damage has been inflicted, that the objectives have been achieved, and so on, they will ultimately find themselves in a worse security situation than before this action."

"I don't want to anticipate anything, but the determination of the Iranian side speaks for itself."

Ryabkov noted that in recent days, "the escalation was quite obvious, including publicly."

"Everyone certainly took note of the Americans' decision to withdraw, as they usually put it, non-essential personnel from military facilities and their family members. That some action was being prepared over a certain period of time was palpable. And things were heading in that direction," the diplomat emphasized.
