Tehran emerged as one of Russia’s closest allies during Moscow’s Ukraine offensive and the Kremlin has been calling for restraint amid growing tensions and reports of a possible US intervention in Iran. “Washington and Tel-Aviv have once again embarked on a dangerous adventure that is rapidly bringing the region to the brink of a humanitarian, economic, and — this cannot be ruled out —- radiological catastrophe,” Russia’s foreign ministry said on Saturday. “The aggressors’ intentions are clear and openly declared: to destroy the constitutional order and overthrow the government of a state they find undesirable, which has refused to submit to the diktat of force and hegemonism,” it added.

Russia said it was “ready to contribute to the search for peaceful solutions” that are “based on international law, mutual respect and balance of interests.” Moscow has urged Russians to leave Iran and issued a similar warning for its citizens in Israel. In 2025, Russia and Iran signed a strategic partnership treaty aimed at strengthening ties — including in the military sphere.
