MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia stays in contact with both Iran and Israel against the background of the recent escalation of the conflict, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on Monday.
"What is happening is very worrying. The Russian Foreign Ministry is not just closely following what is happening, but is in contact with the parties. We have publicly called on everyone to exercise restraint. We have certainly condemned Israel's unprovoked use of force in violation of the norms and principles of the UN Charter," Ryabkov told reporters.
Russia holds talks on the issue with the representatives of the United States, Ryabkov said.
"The topic of Iran comes up in our contacts with US representatives. We have conveyed the relevant impulses to the US side. In recent days, this has taken place on specialized international multilateral platforms," the diplomat said.
Moscow is concerned about the threat, posed by the exchange of strikes between Iran and Israel on the Busher nuclear power plant, the official added.
"Of course, all of this is extremely dangerous. If there have been no dire consequences so far, and in this case we have our own sources of information and see what [the International Atomic Energy Agency] representatives are reporting on this topic. This is just a coincidence for the time being, but the risks are too high," Ryabkov said.
