Russia said on Friday that Israeli strikes on Iran were unprovoked and in breach of the United Nations charter, accusing Israel of wrecking diplomatic efforts to strike a deal to allay Western concerns about Tehran's nuclear programme.

"Russia is concerned and condemns the sharp escalation in tensions between Israel and Iran," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state media.
President Vladimir Putin was getting real-time reports on the situation from Russia's SVR foreign intelligence service and the foreign and defence ministries, Peskov said.
In a detailed statement drawn up at Putin's behest, the Foreign Ministry fiercely condemned Israel and blamed the West for whipping up what it called anti-Iranian "hysteria."
"We strongly condemn the use of force by the state of Israel in violation of the Charter of the United Nations and international law," the ministry said.
"Unprovoked military strikes against a sovereign U.N. member state, its citizens, peaceful cities, and nuclear energy infrastructure are categorically unacceptable.
"The international community cannot afford to be indifferent to such atrocities, which destroy peace and damage regional and international security."

But there is a Jewish minority in Iran which the Iranians persecute ... I thought Pootie Poot considered that grounds for an all put invasion?
“We strongly condemn the use of force by the state of Israel in violation of the Charter of the United Nations and international law,” the ministry said.

Russians are sounding very globalist again.
Isn’t it odd that Russia ‘forgot’ to mention that Iran’s many strikes on Israel through its proxies, were also illegal?
F Putin.
Russia has had it’s issues with Islam.
They likely green lighted the strike through back channels.
This needed to happen and knowing Barack Hussein Obama and his wookie wife are greiving this morning makes me happy.
Unprovoked? Is that the best you can do?
Laughing ironically in Ukrainian.
And Polish, and whatever the heck they speak in all those tiny little countries off to the side of the map.
Apparently, to Russia, Iran’s launching of hundreds of missiles at Israel is not “provocation”.
Irony of ironies.
Invader Pooti Poot says this is illegal?!
Isn’t irony ironic?
That’s rich, coming from them.
Oh, this ISN’T from the Bee!
Sure. Just a minor hypocrisy about such a minor thing. You know starting wars.
Unprovoked, what the he!! are they talking about
Thanks for posting.
Is this The Bee? LOL!
