Kremlin's Mediating Role in Middle East Tensions

The Kremlin expressed alarm this Friday over the increasing volatility in the Middle East, describing the region as 'plunging into an abyss of instability and war'.

Moscow, holding strong diplomatic ties with both Iran and Israel, signaled readiness to mediate if necessary. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized the need for Middle Eastern countries to establish their own red lines.

While acknowledging Israel's current military ambitions against Iran, Peskov noted Russia's communication channels remain open with both Israel and the U.S., calling for diplomatic solutions to avoid further conflict.
