MOSCOW: Russia on Sunday urged all sides to “present restraint” after Iran launched an unprecedented missile and drone assault on Israel.
“We’re relying on the regional states to unravel the present issues with political and diplomatic means,” the overseas ministry mentioned in a press release.
Moscow expressed “excessive concern over the newest harmful escalation within the area”.
It mentioned it had warned quite a few occasions that “the dearth of decision to quite a few crises within the Center East, primarily within the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli battle” would “result in progress in instability“.
Russian International Minister Sergei Lavrov on Saturday held cellphone talks with Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
The Russian overseas ministry mentioned Lavrov reiterated “decisive condemnation” of an Israeli strike in Syria this month that killed Iranian generals.
Russia has beforehand condemned Israel’s conduct in its six-month conflict in Gaza.
Moscow has historically tried to take care of relations with all main powers within the Center East.
However the Gaza battle has dented its ties with Israel and Moscow has already been strengthening army and political ties with Iran.
