On Tuesday, the Kremlin announced that Israel has shown no interest in mediation efforts regarding its ongoing conflict with Iran. This statement comes amid what Moscow terms "galloping escalation" of tensions.

During a briefing with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov appealed for restraint from both parties and highlighted the absolute level of uncertainty surrounding the situation. The complexity and rapid developments have contributed to an unpredictable environment, he noted.

Peskov reiterated Russia's willingness to mediate in the conflict if necessary. However, he acknowledged that Israel is currently not inclined to pursue a peaceful resolution, preferring instead to navigate the situation independently for the time being.
