The Russian Foreign Ministry called for stopping escalation in the Middle East, refraining from provocative actions, and resuming political and diplomatic efforts.
It was stressed that the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran are causing a sharp escalation and radical destabilization of the situation in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf.
According to the ministry, the attacks dangerously undermine global and regional security, prompting "lasting and the most harmful consequences, including for trade and economic relations, air, sea and other communications, as well as, not least, for the non-proliferation regime."
The U.S. and Israel’s attempts to change the regime constitute a blatant violation of the UN Charter and the basic norms and principles of international law, such inadmissible developments must be stopped immediately, the ministry stressed.
The Russian ministry called for stopping the ongoing armed escalation and refraining from provocative actions and rhetoric, in order to resume political and diplomatic efforts and stay committed to international law.
