He emphasized the good relations and historical ties of the Russian Federation with Iran and noted that in the current situation the Russian Federation “is not a neutral country.” However, Iran, according to Kelin, has not yet asked Russia for any help.
“We have a very negative attitude towards what is happening. Now Western countries adhere to the logic that Iran is guilty of everything. But no one says that the United States and Israel launched an attack against Iran. And Iran is only responding to this attack. This is simply dishonest,” the Russian ambassador noted. At the same time, traditionally, the representative of the aggressor country did not mention that the Russian Federation is also “dishonestly” waging war against Ukraine.
Kelin also kept silent about the fact that Russia does not agree to the establishment of peace in Ukraine, and said that the best scenario for the Middle East is “an immediate cessation of any aggression, the use of force and a return to peaceful negotiations, a diplomatic solution.”
On March 6, The Washington Post, citing sources among officials familiar with the intelligence, wrote that the Russian Federation is providing Iran with intelligence for attacks on the US military. The White House said that the United States is not paying much attention to reports of such likely interaction between the countries. “Whether this happened or not, frankly, doesn't really matter because President Trump and the U.S. military are completely destroying the criminal Iranian terrorist regime,” White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said.
