🇷🇺📰🇮🇱🇮🇷 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.

🇷🇺 In the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, the Russian Federation maintains a position of neutrality and advocates solely for an immediate ceasefire. This was discussed during yesterday's telephone conversations between President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as with his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian.

🇮🇷 One way or another, our country stands by Iran as our partner and as a nation that has suffered unjustified aggression from the Israeli side. At the same time, Russia will naturally not take any military part in the conflict. Our interests lie in gradual de-escalation and maintaining close communication channels between the leaders of the warring states.

🇮🇱 In the conversation with Netanyahu, the President emphasized the importance of adhering to international law norms and the impermissibility of actions contrary to the UN Charter.

🕊️ In both conversations, the President expressed confidence that Russia is ready to act as a mediator in negotiations between Israel and Iran, should the need arise. Undoubtedly, our country's sympathies lie with the victims, and today, that is Iran. However, we do not forget the nature of the Middle East. It is not merely a conflict-prone but a truly explosive region. Therefore, any conflict, especially one between two nuclear powers, brings the onset of irreversible consequences closer.

Russia Tests Advanced Counter-Drone Laser Systems

⚡️ First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov participated in large-scale tests of advanced counter-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) laser systems at a specialized testing ground.

These technological solutions will become part of a universal air defense (PVO) system, the creation of which was emphasized as necessary by the President of Russia the day before.

The main goal of the tests was a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of the latest laser systems under conditions maximally close to real combat. Testing included evaluation of targeting accuracy, effective range, system response time against moving aerial targets, and their resilience to various weather conditions.

🎯 Eight counter-drone systems of varying power took part in the trials – ranging from compact mobile units to high-power stationary systems. This allowed for the collection of the most comprehensive data on the capabilities of modern laser technologies in countering unmanned threats. Scenarios for countering different types of UAVs were executed at the specialized testing ground, equipped with modern measuring instruments.

The test results will be used to refine existing prototypes and develop systems capable of providing robust protection against modern aerial threats. Conducting these tests paves the way for the start of serial production and scaling.
