The Kremlin has strongly condemned the recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, warning they could trigger wider instability in the region and deepen the ongoing conflict.
Russia expressed deep regret over the airstrikes, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Monday, emphasizing that the attacks had widened the scope of the conflict and heightened regional tensions.
Peskov noted that the full extent of the damage to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure remains uncertain, including whether any radiation risk is present. He described the post-strike situation in Iran as a serious concern for Moscow.
Moscow had previously warned that U.S. military intervention could destabilize the region. In January, Russia and Iran signed a strategic partnership treaty, though it did not include a mutual defence clause.
Peskov also stated that U.S. President Donald Trump had not provided Russian President Vladimir Putin with detailed information about the planned strikes in advance, although the possibility of military involvement had been discussed in general terms.
The Kremlin has stated that Russia is prepared to assist Iran in various ways amid the current escalation in the Middle East, with the extent of support largely depending on Iran’s specific requests.
When asked about Russia's next steps, Peskov reiterated Moscow’s offer to mediate and emphasized that future actions would depend on what Iran needs.
