Russian, UAE foreign ministers condemn US attack on Iran

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a phone call with UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan to discuss the regional situation after US and Israeli strikes on Iran, with both foreign ministers condemning the attack.

In a statement, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Lavrov and Al Nahyan described the aggression as unacceptable and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities, a return to political and diplomatic resolution, and strict adherence to international law, Caliber.Az reports via Russian media.

The ministers emphasised the destabilising nature of the military escalation in the region, which creates security threats for the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf.
