Lavrov's Ministry denounces Israel's “illegal attacks” on Iran, invoking the violation of international law

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked Israel on Tuesday to cease what has cataloged as “illegal attacks” on Iranian nuclear facilities and accused Western countries of manipulating their situation to “regulate their political accounts”, reports CNN and Reuters.

“The intense and continuous attacks of Israel on peaceful nuclear facilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran are illegal from the point of view of international law, create unacceptable threats to international security and push the world to a nuclear catastrophe, whose consequences will be felt everywhere, including in Israel,” the Russian diplomacy said.

“Russia asks for the Israeli leadership to … immediately cease the raids on the nuclear installations and sites that are under guarantees and are the subject of AIEA verification activities (International Atomic Energy Agency, no),” added the Russian Ministry.

The statement also accuses Western countries-which have not been mentioned explicitly-that they act “for opportunistic reasons” in support of Israel's actions, saying that “it is obvious that the Western blocks to manipulate the global regime of nuclear non-proliferation and to use it to regulate their political accounts with the non-existent countries are extremely expensive for the non-existent countries. unacceptable ”.

The ministry led by Sergei Lavrov states that Russia has taken note of Iran's “firm commitment” to its obligations to comply with the Treaty of Nuclear Not Proliferation, as “and the Availability (Tehran) to resume contacts with the United States”, adding that a solution to the Middle East conflict can only be “provided by diplomacy”.

The statement also states that Moscow is waiting for the International Atomic Energy Agency to provide “as soon as possible a detailed written report (…) with an objective and unaltered evaluation” brought to Iranian nuclear facilities.

The Kremlin announced on Monday that Russia is ready to act as a mediator in the conflict between Israel and Iran, and its previous proposal to store Iranian uranium in Russia remains valid.

Peskov: At present, we find a reluctance from Israel

Israel does not want any external mediation for a negotiated resolution of its conflict with Iran, previously transmitted on Tuesday Russia, which warned of a “galloping escalation” of this conflict, AFP and Reuters press agencies reported.

“At present, we find a reluctance, so as not to say otherwise, from Israel to accept mediation services and to engage in a peaceful way of settlement”, the press of the Russian presidency, Dmitri Peskov, told the press.

“The situation continues to climb galloping,” he warned, according to Agerpres.

The Kremlin representative also said that the Russia's offer is still valid, but Israel is not interested in a peaceful settlement of his conflict with Iran.

During negotiations between the US and Iran on the Iranian nuclear program, last week, negotiations interrupted after Israel attacked Iran on Friday, Russia proposed to take over the rich uranium and convert it into nuclear fuel for civil use, as a potential solution to calm the crisis and to an Iran.

Israel has launched an intense bombing campaign on the installations of the Iranian nuclear program and the Iranian army bases, especially on the launching facilities of the ballistic missiles.

During the campaign, dozens of high -ranking commanders of the Iranian army and collaborators of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were killed.

But the main Iranian uranium enrichment installations are in underground facilities, which Israel can only hit with anti-Bracar weapons held by the US.

Iran responded with hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones launched in waves on targets in Israel.

The Israeli anti-aircraft systems, especially the Iron Dome system, intercepted most of the projectiles, but the success rate in their interception was lower than usual, so some rockets reached their target or hit inhabited areas and produced victims.

Iran claims that it has hit the Center for Operations of the Israeli Secret Service Mossad at Tel Aviv.
