Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov welcomed the Israel–Iran ceasefire on Tuesday but warned it was too early to say if the truce would hold.
Speaking on Tuesday, Lavrov said Moscow supported efforts to stop the fighting between Israel and Iran, but stressed the situation remained unclear.
“It is very difficult to make any final conclusions now and get a clear picture,” Lavrov said, offering Russia’s first public reaction to the ceasefire that U.S. President Donald Trump announced.
He noted that U.S. officials had persuaded Israel to agree to an indefinite ceasefire, while Qatar had worked with Iran.
“But after the announcement, there were still reports of strikes - an exchange of attacks between Israel and Iran,” Lavrov added. “So let’s not rush to conclusions based on partial information.”
