MOSCOW, June 13. /TASS/. Russia expresses grave concern over the dangerous escalation in the Middle East and strongly condemns Israel's military actions against Iran, which violate the UN Charter and international law, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated.
"We express our utmost concern over the dangerous escalation of tensions in the Middle East. We strongly condemn Israel's forceful campaign which violates the UN Charter and norms of international law," the ministry stressed.
"Unprovoked military strikes against a sovereign UN member state, its citizens, sleeping peaceful cities, and nuclear infrastructure facilities are totally unacceptable. The international community cannot afford to treat this kind of atrocities indifferently, as they destroy the world and jeopardize regional and international security," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
Moscow also expects that the West, which provoked anti-Iran hysteria in the International Atomic Energy Agency, will now realize the results of its harmful policy.
"We also hope that the Western states, which provoked anti-Iran hysteria in the IAEA Board of Governors and once again pushed through an opportunistic resolution to please their political preferences and phobias that did not receive universal support, will realize the disastrous effects of their course and the extent of their guilt for the tragedy."
