Russia is doing its best to reduce tensions in the Middle East. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the comments on Monday (October 28). In view of Israel's attack on Iran, he answered the questions of the journalists. British news agency Reuters reported this news.
Peskov said that Russia maintains contact with all sides of the conflict. He said, we have contact with Tehran. We are also talking to the Israeli and Palestinian sides. Russia has regularly called on all sides to show restraint and encourages any efforts to de-escalate tensions.
Peskov also said that the situation in the Middle East is still very tense. It is very important to show restraint in such situations.
Russia is trying to maintain peace in the Middle East through international diplomacy. Moscow believes that an escalation of the conflict at this time could destabilize the entire region. Hence the Kremlin's emphasis on dialogue and peaceful solutions.
Russia's stance in the context of the Israel-Iran conflict and Palestinian-Israeli tensions is a continuation of the Kremlin's Middle East policy. Moscow has always favored a political solution to any conflict in the Middle East. Especially, when the conflict could directly endanger the nuclear powers.
The Kremlin said Russia would work to defuse tensions and avoid conflict through diplomatic means.
