Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated this Friday that Moscow, after talking with Tehran, conveyed to Israel that Iran does not want an escalation of the conflict.


«There were telephone contacts between the leaders of Russia and Iran, between our representatives and the Israelis. “We made it very clear in these conversations and conveyed to the Israelis that Iran does not want an escalation,” said the head of Russian diplomacy in an interview with three Russian stations.

Lavrov indicated that Tehran could not leave the attack on the building it says was its “consulate” in Damascus unanswered, but does not want an escalation.


"Virtually all experts assessed Iran's actual response in the same way," he added.

The minister was referring to the Iranian attack on Israel last Saturday with nearly 300 missiles and drones last Saturday, 99 percent of which were intercepted, according to the Israeli side.

«Judging by everything, I hope I am not wrong; "This has been the response to the (Iranian) response that Israel carried out with respect to the facilities in Isfahan (Iran)," Lavrov said.

Israel allegedly launched several missiles against Iran in the province of Isfahan early this Friday. But Iran has denied the attack: first saying that anti-aircraft defenses had shot down several drones and then pointing out that they were "several flying objects."


For their part, anonymous sources cited by the Jerusalem Post newspaper stated that this Friday's attack should be interpreted as a warning to Tehran about Israeli offensive capabilities and as a sign that Israel is not seeking a regional war.

"The message (of the attack) was unmistakable: 'This time we decided not to attack your nuclear facilities, but it could have been worse,'" the sources assured the newspaper.

Lavrov insisted today that Iran does not have nuclear weapons, something he said has been verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The head of Russian diplomacy argued that all speculation about changes in Iran's nuclear doctrine is nothing more than a desire to shift the focus from Israel's operation against Hamas in Gaza to alleged Iranian threats. EFE and Aurora

  1. These Russians from Lavrov and Putin mercilessly murder Ukrainians and there the press media sold to the Arabs and terrorists do not say anything until they give prizes for photos to these terrorist journalists

  2. When you have to be reasonable, Lavrov appears. If you have to put on a bad face, Putin appears.
    The truth is, for this department the cold war was preferable
    Two blocks and don't mix
    Let them sell and understand each other. The one who buys him. China dies with China

  3. The world must know that those who want to annihilate the Jews will be exposed to disappearing, firstly because they are the holy people of the Eternal and secondly because I am sure that Iran knows very well what can happen to it if they invent with Israel, they have the ability to defend themselves and Iran knows it, they are not brutes.

    The State of Israel attacked in Syria a den of terrorists who were meeting planning how to harm Israel and who they believe were not preparing passports for undocumented immigrants or attending to consular or diplomatic matters, they were planning attacks on Israel, which is why Israel attacked them before and not only That is, Israel did not directly attack the Iranian embassy as they say, but rather, where were these strategists, sorry, these terrorists gathered together planning their darkest evils. The eternal bless you Israel. Am Israel Jai.
