Foreign Ministry defines ongoing strikes as ‘illegal’ and calls on Israeli leadership to ‘come to its senses’ and stop attacks on nuclear installations.

Russia on Tuesday said that Israel’s attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran are pushing the world toward a “nuclear catastrophe.”

The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the escalation between Iran and Israel, saying the ongoing strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities are "illegal from the point of view of international law."

The statement added that the strikes would also "create unacceptable threats to international security and push the world towards a nuclear catastrophe, the consequences of which will be felt everywhere, including in Israel itself."

“Russia calls on the Israeli leadership to come to its senses and immediately stop attacks on nuclear installations and sites under safeguards and subject to IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) verification activities,” it added.

It said Moscow expects the UN nuclear watchdog's top officials to prepare a "detailed written report" for the IAEA Investigative Committee and the UN Security Council, which will include assessments of the damage caused by Israel's strikes to the security of Iran's nuclear energy complex.

It also argued that, based on the “harsh and uncompromising” reaction of the majority of countries, among other developments, Israel’s actions against Iran are “understood and supported only by those states that are its actual accomplices and act for opportunistic reasons.”

The only people who are threatening nuclear attack are Iran and Russia... Might want to think about this Russia.

The Russians sure love to play the nuclear catastrophe card when things don’t go their way. They know that Western pansies eat that shit up. No one’s buying anymore, Ivan.

Yeah not bad, if only Iran was left alone everything would have been just fine.

russia is an impotent bystander rapidly heading to 3rd world status, and no one pays the least bit of attention to whatever pronouncements they may make regarding world events ...

Now Putin is reduced to writing sternly worded letters to the UN.

Russia should have pushed Iran to come to its sense long ago...

Also... Russia condemns Israel's killing of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah
