Russia: US-Israeli attack on Iran unreasonable, treacherous

Russia has condemned the ongoing US-Israeli military attacks on Iran as unreasonable and treacherous, more than two weeks after the invading coalition began an unprovoked war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

In a statement on Monday, Russia’s foreign ministry denounced the attacks that began on February 28 with airstrikes targeting senior Iranian leadership figures, warning that US-Israeli attacks on Iran would herald a new wave of violence across the West Asia region and lead to global insecurity.

The ministry further stressed that the far-reaching economic consequences of the current adventurism by the United States and Israel in Iran would be growingly felt not only in the region but also across the globe.

Moscow also expressed its readiness to help find a lasting solution to settle disputes in West Asia.

The aggression, which also killed several high-profile military commanders, provoked a massive response from the Iranian armed forces, which struck US military assets in regional countries and locations in the Israeli‑occupied territories.

Hundreds of Iranians, including women and children, have been killed in the attacks so far.
