Russia condemned the U.S.'s strikes against Iran, describing them as a "dangerous escalation" and a violation of international law.

Russia sees the Israel–Iran war as both a strategic distraction and a dangerous gamble, boosting oil profits and diverting Western focus from Ukraine, but risking nuclear chaos and regional upheaval.

Following US' strikes on Iran, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned that the ‘invaders’ must await responses that will make them regret. He added that the Iranian armed forces are on full alert.
