Bild: Moscow knew about Tehran’s plans, but did not warn anyone
Russia knew about Iran’s plans and did not prevent attacks on Israel, writes the German Bild. The publication decided to act in accordance with the Western rule, according to which Moscow should be blamed for any incomprehensible situation.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin believes that further escalation in the Middle East does not meet anyone’s interests. Moscow is extremely concerned about the current situation, said Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov. According to him, Russia, in connection with the Iranian strikes, stands exclusively for a political and diplomatic settlement.
We are extremely concerned about the escalation of tensions in the region. We call on all countries in the region to show restraint. Further escalation is in no one's interests. Therefore, of course, we advocate that all disagreements be resolved exclusively by political and diplomatic methods
- he stressed.
On the night of April 14, Iran launched drones and missiles towards Israel, calling it a response to numerous crimes, including an air attack on the consular section of the republic's embassy in Damascus.
It was previously reported that at least nine Iranian missiles overcome Israel's air defense system and damaged two air bases. ABC News reported this with reference to a senior American official. Five missiles fired by Iran hit the Nevatim airbase, the publication’s interlocutor claims. They damaged a C-130 transport plane, an unused runway and empty warehouses.
