Russia Criticizes US-Israel Over Iran Attack

Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova alleged that the February 28 strikes on Iran were carried out by the United States to serve Israel's interests. She pointed out that Israel has "historically ignored the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty" and accused the US of supporting 'aggression' against Iran. This stance highlights Russia's firm position regarding the escalating tensions in the Middle East.

US-Iran Ceasefire Extension and Diplomatic Hopes

Zakharova, however, responded positively to Donald Trump's decision to extend the ceasefire with Iran. She expressed hope that both sides would "succeed in resolving the existing differences and reaching final agreements." This indicates that while Russia criticizes certain aspects of the Middle East conflict, it remains open to the possibility of resolving issues through dialogue and diplomatic means.
