Russia has urged restraint following Israel's military strike on Iran, a country with which the Kremlin maintains a close strategic partnership. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated during a call with journalists that Russia is currently examining the details of the attack and refrained from making any premature comments until the nature of the strike is clarified.
Peskov emphasized the importance of exercising restraint by all parties involved and avoiding actions that could potentially escalate tensions in the already volatile region. The Kremlin's stance on advocating for calm comes amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where Russia has been relying on Iranian weapons, including Shahed drones, to target Ukrainian cities.
The partnership between Russia and Iran has been longstanding, with Moscow frequently procuring drones and ballistic missiles from Tehran. In return, Russia has provided Iran with investments and facilitated trade between the two nations.
