Kremlin Condemns U.S. Strikes: Escalating Tensions in Iran
Russia condemns U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, citing increased conflict participants and escalation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasizes unclear consequences for Iran's facilities, potential radiation risk, and offers Russia's mediation services. Moscow had cautioned against U.S. intervention, anticipating regional destabilization.
In a recent development, Russia has expressed its strong condemnation of the U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, according to the Kremlin's statement released on Monday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov highlighted the augmentation of conflict participants and described the situation as a new spiral of escalation. The specific impact on Iran's nuclear facilities remains unclear, alongside potential radiation hazards.
Russia's strategic partnership with Iran, established in January, continues sans a mutual defense clause, even as Moscow had previously warned that U.S. involvement could destabilize the region. As Russia extends its mediation offer, discussions between President Putin and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi are anticipated.
