MOSCOW, June 17. /TASS/. Israel’s attacks on civilian nuclear facilities in Iran are illegal and are pushing the world toward a nuclear disaster, the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.
"The ongoing intensive attacks by the Israeli side against civilian nuclear facilities in Iran are illegal from the point of view of international law. They pose unacceptable threats to international security and push the world to a nuclear disaster, with its consequences being feld everywhere, including in Israel," the ministry stressed.
"Russia is calling on Israel’s leadership to come to its senses and immediately stop air raids on Iran’s nuclear installations that have guarantees from and are inspected by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency - TASS)," the ministry said, adding that Moscow expects the agency to issue an objective report assessing Israel’s strikes on Iran.
"Russia expects the agency’s leadership to release a written informative report to the IAEA Board of Governors and the UN Security Council with an objective assessment of the damage done by the Israeli military to the security of Iran’s nuclear energy facilities and the use of the IAEA guarantees, including of cases of intimidation of inspectors whose lives were exposed to mortal danger," it said.
