US EditionRussia condemns US-Israel strikes on Iran as ‘unprovoked act of armed aggression’
Russia called the strikes by the United States and Israel destabilizing and urged immediate diplomacy to prevent wider conflict amid escalating regional tensions.
- Yesterday, the United States and Israel struck targets inside Iran, with explosions heard in Tehran and other locations.
- Assessing weakened defences after last summer's war, US and Israel judged Iran vulnerable and saw an opportunity that should not be squandered.
- Israel described its action as "pre-emptive" while the US was deploying two carrier strike groups and land-based firepower, yet neither has published evidence of an imminent attack.
- Iran has retaliated against Israeli and US assets in some Gulf states, while multiple explosions were heard in Tehran; United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the escalation.
- There is no precedent for regime change from air strikes, and observers say the legal justification of self-defence is hard to see given the disparity between the US, Israel, and Iran.
