Russia says escalation of conflicts won’t benefit Iran, Israel or Middle East
An escalation of the conflict in the Middle East is not in the interests of Israel, Iran or the entire region, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
Mr Peskov said that Russia called for de-escalation and urged all countries in the region to show reasonable restraint.
He noted that Moscow continues to maintain constructive contacts with both Iran and Israel.
The statement comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East.
Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles late Saturday in response to Israel’s killing of seven Iranians, including two veteran commanders, in a strike on the consular section of the Iranian Embassy in Syria on April 1.
