Russia and Pakistan condemn the attack on Iran while Europe calls for restraint

Russia and Pakistan have condemned the US-Israeli attacks on Iran, calling for immediate cessation of hostilities and urging for diplomatic solutions.

Russia and Pakistan have strongly condemned the recent US-Israeli military attacks against Iran, which have prompted varied international responses, ranging from outright condemnation to warnings of potential escalation and calls for dialogue among the involved parties. Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized the necessity for an immediate halt to the American and Israeli strikes, advocating for a return to a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing conflicts in the region. They cautioned that the current actions could destabilize the region further and called on the international community to objectively assess what they termed irresponsible acts.

In a statement, Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council, criticized the US for its military actions, stating that these attacks reveal a more aggressive side of American foreign policy. Medvedev also reaffirmed Russia's willingness to contribute to peaceful solutions grounded in international law and mutual respect, echoing the sentiment that diplomacy should be the preferred path forward.

Simultaneously, Pakistan's Foreign Minister, Muhammad Iqbal, conveyed his government's condemnation to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, expressing Islamabad's solidarity with Tehran against what they perceive as reckless military interventions. The international community is now faced with the challenge of navigating these tensions, particularly as European nations aptly call for restraint to prevent further escalation in an already volatile region.
