The Russian foreign minister said Iran’s reaction to the Israeli raid on the Islamic Republic’s consulate in the Syrian capital, has been responsible accompanied by restraint.Sergei Lavrov made the remarks in a phone conversation with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amir Abdollahian.He voiced regret that, during the past meeting of the UN Security Council, some countries failed to condemn Israel’s deadly attack. Seven Iranian military advisors were martyred in the attack on April 1. Lavrov added Russia will fully support Iran’s reaction to the deadly raids as legitimate defense, at the UN Security Council meeting. The top Russian diplomat also voiced hope that tensions will decrease in the region. Amir Abdollahian, in turn, elucidated on the objectives of the Iranian Armed Forces’ operation against specific targets in the occupied Palestinian territories. He said the limited and punitive action was taken as deterrence, warning if the Zionist regime is engaged in a new measure against the Islamic Republic of Iran, it will surely face a crushing response. The top Iranian diplomat said Russia can play an active role in putting an end to the ongoing Israeli genocide and crimes against Palestinians.
