“Once again, we call for stopping the ongoing armed escalation and refraining from provocative actions. Today, more than ever, we need to resume political and diplomatic efforts and stay committed to international law,” the Ministry states on its official website.

The United States and Israel’s attacks on Iran, as the Russian side warned, are leading to a sharp escalation and radical destabilization of the situation in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, the statement said.

The Foreign Ministry noted, “There is a danger of undermining global and regional security, prompting lasting and most harmful consequences, including for trade and economic relations, air, sea, and other communications, and, not least, for the non-proliferation regime.”

The US and Israel’s unprovoked aggression against Iran, their attempts to change the government, infringing upon the country’s sovereignty, interfering in its domestic affairs, and deciding about the fate of the Iranian people blatantly violate the United Nations Charter and the basic norms and principles of international law, the statement said.
