Moscow, March 4: Russia has condemned the joint actions of the US and Israel against Iran, stating that the public continues to bear the consequences of this violence and will face further repercussions. The country accused the US of using the situation as a pretext for its actions.
Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated during a press briefing on Wednesday that the alleged threats cited by Iran were merely a cover to advance plans for violently dismantling the constitutional order in a sovereign UN member state.
She claimed that the United States is no longer attempting to conceal its desire for “regime change” in Iran.
Zakharova strongly condemned the attack on a girls’ primary school in Minab, Iran, which resulted in the deaths of 165 individuals, mostly schoolgirls. She emphasized that targeting children in such incidents not only violates international humanitarian law but also directly assaults fundamental human values.
She noted that the Iranian administration is trying to manage the situation to prevent chaos. However, the most severe consequences of military campaigns will be borne by ordinary people, infrastructure, and the global economy.
The Russian spokesperson accused Western nations of largely ignoring this incident. She pointed out that typically, when children die in conflicts, there is a strong global outcry, but such voices are notably absent in this case, highlighting a double standard.
Zakharova insisted that the rising civilian death toll from violence must be halted immediately, as it exacerbates the situation and increases regional instability. She called on all parties to exercise restraint and resolve the situation through diplomatic means to save innocent lives and prevent the conflict from escalating further.
