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."

Remind me — How long has the West been negotiating with Iran about its nuclear program?

That comment is so stupid it is not even worthy of a response.

With a country like Iran,knowing how it is ruled...how could you strike a “deal” that would mean anything?

The only solution to what is going on in this world is regime change in so many places, starting with Tehran and Moscow ! God bless and watch over Israel.

Iran on Thursday repudiated a declaration from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it's not complying with its nuclear obligations, and said it would enhance aspects of its nuclear program in response.

That was before Israel (reacted) attacked this recalcitrant enemy of it and the US. US kicks can down the road; Israel attacks can.

If anyone would know about unprovoked and illegal attacks it’s the Russians.

Russia says Israel’s attack on Iran was unprovoked and illegal

That’s rich coming from a country that illegally invaded another unprovoked.

[Flavious_Maximus]

The October 7th massacre was carried out by HAMAS but planned and funded by Iran.

Now the Iranian’s will pay the price for attacking Israel. An all out war in the middle east will be glorious. Lets get it over with.

Hording 235 U is not a provocation??

[blitz128]

When Russian or Russian allies do it, it is okay, but when they or their “friends” are on the receiving end it is illegal and terrorism 😂

[af_vet_1981]

Isn’t it odd that Russia ‘forgot’ to mention its invasion of Ukraine ?

[blitz128]

The koran says it is not only okay but justified to lie to the infidel. So no agreement with them is worth the paper it is written on
